In this set of amides, boiling point trends are governed mainly by hydrogen bonding capability and molecular polarity, with an added minor influence from molecular weight. Option A corresponds to benzamide (Ph-CO-NH2). This molecule has two N–H bonds in the amide NH2 group, allowing two potential hydrogen-bond donors, in addition to the carbonyl oxygen acting as a strong hydrogen-bond acceptor. The combination of multiple H-bonding interactions and the overall polarity tends to raise the boiling point. Option B corresponds to N-methylbenzamide (Ph-CO-NH-CH3). This is a secondary amide with one N–H bond, giving one hydrogen-bond donor site, and the carbonyl oxygen remains an H-bond acceptor. The hydrogen-bonding capacity is reduced relative to A, which typically lowers the boiling point compared with A, assuming similar molecular weight. Option C corresponds to N,N-dimethylbenzamide (Ph-CO-N(CH3)2). This tertiary amide lacks N–H bonds entirely, so it cannot donate hydrogen bonds from the amide N. It still has the carbonyl as an H-bond acceptor, but overall hydrogen-bonding potential is the lowest among the three, usually resulting in the lowest boiling point. Additionally, while C is slightly heavier than B, the loss of H-bond donation often leads to a lower BP than both A and B. Putting these factors together, the order of increasing hydrogen-bonding capability (and thus boiling point, broadly) is C < B < A. Therefore, the highest boiling point corresponds to A, followed by B, then C, giving the sequence A > B > C. Note: If you consider only the explicit options, the option that matches A > B > C is the one indicating that A has the highest BP, B intermediate, and C the lowest, which aligns with the reasoning above.
