The matter whose particles have the highest kinetic energy and moves more randomly can easily diffuse with others as compared to the particles that are more still.

Thus, as the particles of gas move freely with high kinetic energy, gases have the highest rate of diffusion followed by liquids and then solids.

The correct order of rate of diffusion is Solid<Liquid<Gas.
