The correct Answer is:D

When the temperature rises, the vapor pressure of a liquid also rises. At boiling point, the vapor pressure becomes equal to the atmospheric pressure. A liquid with lower vapor pressure will require higher temperature to attain its vapor pressure will require higher temperature to attain its vapor pressure equal to the atmospheric pressure. Thus, the liquid with the lowest vapor pressure will have the highest boiling point.
