Solution

The correct option is A CH3F
For the same alkyl group, the boiling point of haloalkanes decreases in the order RI > RBr > RCl > RF.This is due to the increase in van der Waals forces when the size and mass of the halogen atom increases. For isomeric haloalkanes, the boiling point decrease with increase in branching.

Hence, the correct option is A
