Solution

The correct option is C ${S O}_{2}$
Easily liquefiable gases have greater intermolecular forces which is represented by high value of vander waal's constant, a.
Among the given gases, the highest value of vander waal's constant "a" is of SO₂ . Hence, SO₂ is easily liquified. Option C is correct.
