Solution

The correct option is A higher than hydrocarbons and ethers
Boiling points of Aldehydes and ketones are higher than their corresponding hydrocarbons or Ethers.
Because Aldehydes and ketones are more polar than Ethers therefore intermolecular dipole-dipole attraction is stronger.
And hydrocarbons only have weak Van der Waal forces.
