Solution

The correct option is B (ii)>(i)>(iii)>(iv)
The boiling points are given in the order of Alkanes < Esters < Aldehydes < Alcohols.
Alcohols have higher possibility of hydrogen bonding.
Hence, this is the increasing order corresponding functions groups boiling points.
CH3CH2CH2CH2OH>CH3CH2CH2CHO>C2H5OC2H5>CH3CH2CH2CH3.
