Calculate their molar masses. The highest molar mass will have the strongest LDF's.
Explanation:
LDF's, or London-Dispersion Forces, revolve around a central concept called polarizability. Polarizability increases with molar mass. Therefore, the greater the molecular weight or molar mass of a molecule/chemical, the greater its polarizability, and therefore, the stronger its LDF's.
I leave the calculations to you, as they shouldn't be too hard with a periodic table and a calculator.
I hope that helps!
