Solution

The correct option is A
Solids

Cohesion is a property of a matter by virtue of which it binds together within the molecules.
It depends upon the intermolecular spacing within the matter.
That is why the force of cohesion is maximum in solids and minimum in gases.
Hence, option A is correct.
