Solution

The correct statement is:

c. Since alcohols are able to hydrogen bond, their boiling points are higher than those of their parent molecules.

Here's why:

Alcohols are polar molecules that can form hydrogen bonds with each other, which requires more energy to break. This results in a higher boiling point compared to their parent hydrocarbons, which cannot form hydrogen bonds.
