The correct order of volalitity is:

A$$NH_{3}\;<\;H_{2}O$$
Bp-nitro phenol < o-nitro phenol
Correct Answer
C$$CH_{3}OH\;> \;CH_{3}-O-CH_{3}$$
D$$HF\:>\;HCl$$

Solution

Stronger intermolecular forces would make the substance less volatile.
We see intermolecular H-bonding in para-nitro phenol ,so para-nitro phenol is less volatile, where as in o-nitro phenol, intra H-bonding takes places, thus, it is highly volatile.
