Detailed Solution

The proper sequence of the normal boiling temperatures  O2,N2 NH3 and CH4 is O2<N2<CH4<NH3

(for which the values of vander waals constant 'a' are 1.360, 1.390, 4.170, and   2.253 L2 atm mol2 

a is an indirect indicator of the strength of the molecules' attractive forces, the boiling point will increase as the van der Waals constant, or a, increases in value.

So, option B is correct answer.
