Based on the posed question and its limiting conditions, elemental mercury is a correct answer. Pure hydrogen peroxide or isopropyl alcohol would qualify, too.
If you include materials which are liquid outside of "room temperature," things like magma and liquid nitrogen would also be correct answers.
Olive oil?
You wouldn't live long, but compared to the other options you're listing...
Of the liquids you listed, I think the hydrogen peroxide would be the fastest and most flame-filled death, more than the magma.
100% H2O2 is Very much unlike the 3% kind that can be purchased at a store.
It might even explode, I know shipping tanks of it can and I think that's usually under 100%.
