Solution

The correct option is B mercury
The relative density of a substance with density $ρ$ with respect to another substance with density $ρ_{0}$ is given by
$r = \frac{ρ}{ρ_{0}}$
Hence $r \propto ρ$
Since density of mercury is highest among the given options, the relative of it with respect to some other substance is also highest.
