  1. A Ethanol
  2. B Ethylene glycol
  3. C Glycerol
  4. D Methanol
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) Glycerol

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

We know that, higher is the extent of H-bonding higher will be the viscosity.
Among the given option glycerol has the highest viscosity as in this case 3-0H groups are involved in hydrogen bonding which is greater than other ethylene glycol has two and both ethanol and methanol has one \(-\mathrm{OH}\) group.
