The explanation for correct option

(b) 1-chlorobutane

  • The boiling point gets increasing when the alkyl chain increases. and decreases with increase in branching
  • Hence, 1-chlorobutane having the longest chain in the given compounds will have a higher boiling point.
  • Therefore, the correct option is (b) 1-chlorobutane .

Hence, the correct option is (b) 1-chloropropane.
