Hi, interesting question.

The option is 4. Water has the greatest surface tension. 

I am sure you would be interested in why is this so.

Well, when two or more than two water molecule form bond they form a hydrogen bond. The negative hydrogen and positive oxygen forms a bond. 
The Hydrogen bond has a lot of inter-molecular attraction which provides the bond with the greatest surface tension force. 

Hope this helped you, Thank you.

Surface tension: The minimization of the surface area caused due to the attraction of particles on the surface of the liquid is referred to as surface tension.

The polar property of water makes the molecules attract with each other. The hydrogen ends are positive whereas the oxygen ends are negative.  

Water has high surface tension compared to many other liquids. The surface tension of water is estimated to be  72 dynes/cm at 25°C.

Hence,(4) water is the answer.
