Answer: (2)

Solution:

Formula: Physical Properties

Boiling point of alkyl halide increases with increase in size, mass of halogen atom and size of alkyl group

Boiling point of isomeric alkyl halide decreases with increase in branching

Density increases with increase in atomic mass of halogen atom
