Solution

The correct option is B Volatile liquids

Volatile liquids have low boiling point, as a result they evaporate easily at room temperature. Because of their low boiling points volatile liquids convert to the gas phase at a lower temperature and the gas molecules can diffuse faster than the molecules of a non volatile liquid. This is the reason why perfumes use volatile liquids so that their smell can disperse more quickly into the air.

Eg : perfume, petrol and alcohol
