A column is filled with four different liquids of different densities: red, blue, green, and purple. This chart shows the densities of the liquids.

Densities of Liquids
\begin{tabular}{|l|l|}
\hline \multicolumn{1}{|c|}{Liquid} & \multicolumn{1}{c|}{Density} \\
\hline Red & [tex]$1.2 \, g/cm^3$[/tex] \\
\hline Blue & [tex]$1.6 \, g/cm^3$[/tex] \\
\hline Green & [tex]$0.8 \, g/cm^3$[/tex] \\
\hline Purple & [tex]$0.1 \, g/cm^3$[/tex] \\
\hline
\end{tabular}

In what order would the liquids arrange themselves, from top to bottom?

A. Red, Purple, Green
B. Purple, Green, Red, Blue
C. Purple, Green, Blue, Red
D. Blue, Red, Green, Purple

To determine the order in which the liquids will arrange themselves in the column, from top to bottom, we need to consider their densities. The rule is that liquids with lower densities will float above those with higher densities.

Here are the densities of the liquids provided in the chart:
- Red liquid: [tex]\(1.2 \, g/cm^3\)[/tex]
- Blue liquid: [tex]\(1.6 \, g/cm^3\)[/tex]
- Green liquid: [tex]\(0.8 \, g/cm^3\)[/tex]
- Purple liquid: [tex]\(0.1 \, g/cm^3\)[/tex]

Now, let's arrange these densities in ascending order (from lowest to highest density):
1. Purple liquid: [tex]\(0.1 \, g/cm^3\)[/tex]
2. Green liquid: [tex]\(0.8 \, g/cm^3\)[/tex]
3. Red liquid: [tex]\(1.2 \, g/cm^3\)[/tex]
4. Blue liquid: [tex]\(1.6 \, g/cm^3\)[/tex]

Therefore, the order in which the liquids will arrange themselves from top to bottom is:

1. Purple liquid (lowest density)
2. Green liquid
3. Red liquid
4. Blue liquid (highest density)

So, the correct order is:
- Purple
- Green
- Red
- Blue

Hence, the correct option is:
purple, green, red, blue.
