Correct Answer: Option A

Explanation

The correct answer is A. Pentane.

Boiling point increases with molecular weight and size in alkanes, due to increased London dispersion forces (also known as van der Waals forces).The order of boiling points for the given options is:

Methane (boiling point: -161.5°C) < Ethane (boiling point: -88.5°C) < Propane (boiling point: -42.2°C) < Pentane (boiling point: 36.1°C). Therefore, Pentane has the highest boiling point among the given options.
