Solution

The correct option is D NH3
The ease of liquification of a gas depends on their intermolecular force of attraction which in turn is measured in terms of van der Waals’ constant ‘a’.
Hence, higher the value of ‘a’, greater the intermolecular force of attraction, easier the liquification. In the present case, NH3 has highest ‘a’, can most easily be liquefied.
Hence option D is correct answer.
