Solution

The correct option is A $C H_{3} - C H_{2} - (C H_{2}) - C H_{2} O H$
$C H_{3} - C H_{2} - C H_{2} - C H_{2} - O H$
Because it has a linear structure.
Branched alkanes have weaker van der Waals forces because of the smaller area of the contact between the molecules. So, less energy is needed to overcome the intermolecular force.
