Put intravenous intramuscular subcutaneous sublingual oral in order of absorption rate?

The order of absorption rates from fastest to slowest is as follows: intravenous (IV) administration provides immediate absorption, followed by intramuscular (IM) injections, which are absorbed quickly but not as fast as IV. Subcutaneous (SC) injections have a slower absorption rate than IM. Oral administration is the slowest, as it requires digestion before the drug enters the bloodstream, and sublingual administration is generally faster than oral but slower than IV and IM.
