B

Propan-1-ol,butan-1-ol, butan-2-ol, pentan-1-ol

C

D

Pentan-1-ol, butan-1-ol, butan-2-ol, propan-1-ol

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
It is the correct increasing order of boiling points. It is directly releated to the magnitude of van der Waal's forces (London forces ) which depend upon molecular size.
