B

`I lt II lt IV lt III`

C

`IV lt I lt II lt III`

D

`IV lt II lt I lt III`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
The `OH` groups are involved in intermolecular H-bonding which influence the boiling points of the compounds. Based upon that, the correct order of boiling points is as given.
