What will be an ideal response?

Engel curve A implies that a certain level of income is required before any of the good is purchased. Engel curve B implies that the quantity demanded is proportional to income (unit elastic). Engel curve C implies that the good is a necessity since it would be consumed even if income were zero. Thus _A > _B > _C.
