Show answer and explanation

Answer: D. Only iii

Statement iii is true: C (Carbon dioxide) is a gas, which is much lighter and less dense than D (Water), a liquid.
Other statements are false: B (Solid) has the strongest attraction, not least. Only solids are truly non-compressible. Water (D), not alcohol (A), is the universal solvent.
