Answer:

D

Explanation:

Me has the least boiling point because it has the weakest degree of intermolecular forces. The weak van Der Waals forces exist in C2H6. In CH3OH, there are strong hydrogen bonds which accounts for the higher boiling point. NaNO3 is an ionic compound, hence it has the highest boiling point among all the substances mentioned.
