Best answer

Correct option (A) (I) > (II) > (III) < (IV)

Explanation:

The greater the number of C atoms and straight chain, the higher is the boiling point. So, I is greater than II. More is the branching, less is the surface area, so lower is the boiling point. Therefore, III is greater than IV.
