Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
Butane has a boiling point of K 6.272 whereas methane has boiling point of K 112 . This is due to the fact that butane has more surface area than methane hence it will have more powerful Vander Waal’s forces which will result in higher boiling point.
