Detailed Solution

Boiling point of water is more than O2   because in water molecules hydrogen bonding is present.  In order to break H-bonding between water molecules, greater amount of energy must be provided. Hence, the boiling point of water is high. But in O2  molecule there is no H-bonding. Therefore, O2  has low boiling point than water.
