NOTE: Above question is incomplete:
Complete question is attached as an attached (image),along with the answer.
.......................................................................................................
Vapor pressure is defined as the pressure exerted by a vapor which is in equilibrium with liquid, at a given temperature, in a closed system. If vapor pressure is high, it suggest that escaping tendency of liquid is high. This will result in higher pressure level in manometer.

In present case liquid A (i.e option F) has highest level in manometer, suggesting that it has highest vapor pressure.
