A
3-2-4-1
B
3-2-1-4
C
2-3-4-1
D
2-1-3-4
High-Yield Explanation
* Chloroquine has highest volume of distribution. It is concentrated in liver and retina. * Heparin is high molecular weight compound and thus not able to cross most membranes. It has low Vd. * Gentamicin again cannot cross many membranes because of polar nature and thus has low Vd. * Haloperidol is a drug working in CNS. So, it must be able to cross other membranes also resulting in high Vd. Thus the sequence is Chloroquine > Haloperidol > Gentamicin > Heparin
