Answer:

The correct option is: C. form stable hydrogen-bonded dimers

Explanation:

Boiling point is the temperature at which a particular substance changes from liquid state to vapor state.

The boiling point of a chemical substance depends upon the intermolecular forces present between the molecules.

Carboxylic acids are the organic molecules containing carboxyl functional group (COOH). <u><em>They tend to have greater boiling point than alcohols, ketones, or aldehydes.</em></u>

<u>This is because only carboxylic acids are capable of forming </u><em><u>dimers that are stabilized by hydrogen bonding.</u></em>
