Solution

The correct option is C C6H5NO2
As the boiling point is inversely proportional to vapour pressure hence, nitrobenzene having bp 212oC will show the lowest vapour pressure at room temperature.

This is because low vapour pressure makes the substance more non-volatile and thus increase its boiling point.

Option C is correct.
