Solution

The correct option is C i>iii>ii
All the given compouns have intermolecular hydrogen bonding due to which their boiling points are higher. C2H5OH possesses the strongest hydrogen bonding because the O is more electro negative than N. Therefore it has the highest boiling point.

In (CH3)2NH and C2H5NH2, the second one has two Hydrogen atoms. Because of this, it can make better hydrogen bonding and thus have higher boiling point. Hence the correct is i>iii>ii
Hence, the correct option is (c)
