The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

Compounds having the same number of carbon atoms follow the boiling point order as:

\((\text{Boiling point})_{\text{Hydrogen bonding}} > (\text{Boiling point})_{\text{High polarity}} > (\text{Boiling point})_{\text{Low polarity}} > (\text{Boiling point})_{\text{Non-polar}}\)
