Solution

Without knowing the specific properties of the molecules (I, II, III, IV), it's impossible to definitively answer this question. However, in general, in high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with a polar stationary phase and a non-polar mobile phase, the molecule with the least polarity (i.e., the most non-polar molecule) will have the least retention time. This is because it will interact less with the polar stationary phase and will be carried along more quickly by the non-polar mobile phase. So, you would need to look at the structures or properties of the molecules to determine which is the least polar.
