  • B II movesfaster and has higher Rf value than I
  • C I moves slower and has higher Rf value than II
  • D II moves slower and has higher Rf value than I

According to question,

Absorption of I > II, it means I is firmly attached to column. Hence it will move slowly and move little distance. As II is loosely attached to column.

So, it will move faster and will move larger distance.
