Detailed Solution

As we know density is directly proportional to molecular mass.

So, when molar mass increases, density also increases and vice versa.

Now we have to see which gas among these has the highest molar mass.

Molar mass of SO2=64 g/mol is highest among all.

Hence, the density of SO2 under standard conditions is also highest. 

Therefore, option (D) is correct.
