Answer:

D is the correct option.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to explain all the solutes from the excersise, the lowest molar mass will give the solution, the highest boiling point.

ΔT = Keb . m

Molality = mol of solute / 1kg of solute

Mol of solute = mass / molar mass

If the molar mass↓ it's small, mol of solute will be↑

Mol of solute ↑ , generates high molality

ΔT ↑ = Kf . m ↑

If the molality is high, the difference between the temperautes, will be high, so the boiling point from solution, will be higher.
