Solution

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

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