Solution

The correct option is C Iron
The decreasing order of interparticle force of attraction for different states of matter is solids > liquids > gases.

Here, iron is a solid, mercury is a liquid and nitrogen and oxygen are gases at room temperature.

Hence, iron will have the strongest interparticle force followed by mercury and then nitrogen and oxygen.
