Detailed Solution

The correct order of increasing the intermolecular forces is salt > water > carbon dioxide.
Ion-dipole, hydrogen bonding, dipole-dipole, and Van der Waals forces are the correct order of intermolecular forces. So, the intermolecular forces between water and carbon dioxide would be London forces and dipole-induced dipole and the intermolecular force between salt and water is Ion-dipole forces.
