    CO

    Explanation:

    Henry's law constant reflects the solubility of a gas in water. The larger the kH, the more soluble is the gas. There is a rule that states that "like dissolves like", meaning polar is soluble in polar and nonpolar is soluble in nonpolar. Since water is polar, we have to consider the nature of these gases.

    Xe nonpolar

    Cl₂ nonpolar

    CO polar

    CO₂ nonpolar

    CH₃CH₃ nonpolar

    CO is the only polar gas, so it has the largest kH.
