Answer

$$V_A>V_B>V_C$$

Work Step by Step

From the equation, $$eV = h\nu - W_0$$ where V is the stopping potential $\nu $ is the frequency of incident light and $W_0$ is the work function of the metal. From this equation, we can conclude that for same $\nu$ larger the $W_0$, lesser the stopping potential $V$ Therefore, $$V_A>V_B>V_C$$
