Solution

The correct options are
A higher
C hydrogen bonding
Diacids have two carboxylic acid groups (-COOH). Thus, they have greater extent of hydrogen bonding than monoacids. Due to which the molecules are held together with greater forces and needs more energy to move apart. Hence, boiling points of diacids are higher than corresponding monoacids.
