This is it!
The more the branching, the lower the boiling point. Pentane is not branched at all, therefore it has the highest boiling point; 2,2-dimethylpropane is the most branched, therefore it has the lowest boiling point.

n-pentane,H3CCH2CH2CH2CH3 , 36 °C;
isopentane,(H3C)2CH2CH2CH3,27.8 °C;
neopentane,(H3C)4C,9.5 °C. Correct answer is D

I thought it was supposed to be the higher the branch the higher it's boiling point
