mercury
earth
uranus

Axial tilt is an important characteristic of planets. Mercury has a very small axial tilt close to vertical. Earth has an axial tilt of about 23.5 degrees. Saturn has an axial tilt of about 26.7 degrees. Uranus has an extremely large axial tilt of about 98 degrees, which means it is almost lying on its side in terms of rotation axis orientation compared to its orbital plane. So Uranus has the axial tilt furthest from vertical among the given options.
