Solution

The correct option is D glucose
Van der Waals forces of attraction are size dependent. Therefore larger the size/surface area of molecules higher will be the van der Waals forces.
Ethane: $C_{2} H_{6}$ ; Glucose: $C_{6} H_{1} 2 O_{6}$ , Urea: $H_{2} N C O N H_{2}$ ; Methane: $C H_{4}$
Since glucose is bigest therefore has maximum van der waals interaction.
