Answer:
Gas > Liquid > Solid
Explanation:
The correct trend for relative randomness is as follows: Gas > Liquid > Solid. In case of gas the intermolecular forces are very weak and hence particles are free to move.

Gas particles have the highest kinetic energy, hence, the randomness is highest in gas as molecules of a gas are far apart from each other.
Gas particles have the highest kinetic energy, hence, the randomness is highest in gas as molecules of a gas are far apart from each other. The liquid particles interaction with each other, due to which liquid has lesser randomness than a gas.
Gas particles have the highest kinetic energy, hence, the randomness is highest in gas as molecules of a gas are far apart from each other. The liquid particles interaction with each other, due to which liquid has lesser randomness than a gas. The solid particles are very closely packed to each other, and cannot move here and there, hence, the solids have least kinetic energy.
