Solution

The correct option is A

copper


Copper: Because it is solid and molecules of solids are tightly packed with maximum intermolecular forces

Explanation for Incorrect option-

Glycerine, water: The intermolecular forces in liquids are lesser than in solids but greater than in gaseous molecules because the particles are closely held together with each other in liquids.

Hydrogen: They have the minimum intermolecular forces because the molecules are far away from each other and have large intermolecular spaces.

Hence, The correct option is A.
