Step 1: Understand What Information is Provided

The question references a TLC figure with three compounds on a TLC plate. The relevant data from the figure:
- All three compounds A, B, C are spotted at the origin (baseline)
- The solvent (mobile phase) moves up, carrying compounds at different rates
- Compound spots are detected by UV or iodine staining

Step 2: Identify Correct Statement About TLC

For TLC analysis:
1. The compound that has the highest  → least polar → least adsorbed → elutes
