Detailed Solution

Given data : It is given to identify the correct order of boiling points 

Explanation:

A smaller area of contact occurs from the molecule's surface area decreasing as branching increases. This results in a decreased Van der Waals force that can be resisted at a substantially lower temperature. As a result, the boiling point of an alkane chain drops as branching increases.

The boiling point increases as the branching decreases.

Hence, the correct option (B). (CH2)3CBr < CH3CH(Br)CH2CH3 <CH3CH2CH2CH2Br.
