To order the activities from greatest to least impact in reducing fossil fuel consumption, let's analyze each option based on their levels of fossil fuel usage:

1. **Walk to work** - This has the greatest impact as it does not use any fossil fuels.
2. **Carpool to work** - This reduces the number of cars on the road, thereby decreasing total fossil fuel consumption compared to driving alone.
3. **Drive an electric car to work** - While it uses electricity instead of gasoline, the impact on fossil fuel consumption depends on how the electricity is generated. If the electricity comes from renewable sources, it could be quite low, but if it's from fossil fuels, the impact is less favorable.
4. **Drive alone to work** - This has the least impact since it maximizes fossil fuel consumption compared to others.

Based on this analysis, the correct order from greatest to least impact is:

**Walk to work, carpool to work, drive an electric car to work, drive alone to work.**

However, since this exact option is not available, the closest one that aligns is:

**Walk to work, carpool to work, drive alone to work.**

Note: It is worth mentioning that "drive an electric car to work" is less impactful compared to walking and carpooling when considering overall fossil fuel impact unless the electricity source is clean.
