Solution

The correct option is C H2O > SbH3> NH3 > AsH3 > PH3
Water has the highest boiling point. In group 15 (Nitrogen family) as we move down the group metallic bonding increases thereby increasing. But NH3 has more boiling point than phosphine and Arsenic Hydride due to its high electronegativity.
Hence the order,
H2O>SbH3>NH3>AsH3>PH3
