Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
D
and 
have hydrogen bonding as the intermolecular forces while 
has weaker dipoledipole interaction.
Thus, 
has the lowest boiling point.
Among 
, and 
has the highest boiling point due to extensive network of hydrogen bonds.
Among 
and 
, HF forms stronger hydrogen bonds due to very high electronegativity of fluorine.
Thus, the order of boiling point will be :-
