The increasing order of boiling point is

\mathrm{C}_{2} \mathrm{H}_{5} \mathrm{OCH}_{3}<\mathrm{C}_{2} \mathrm{H}_{5} \mathrm{CH}_{3}<\mathrm{C}_{2} \mathrm{H}_{5} \mathrm{Cl}<\mathrm{C}_{2} \mathrm{H}_{5} \mathrm{OH}

in C2?H5?OH (i) C-O bond is polar & form hydrogen bonding in H2?O

 in C2?H5?Cl → C-Cl bond is polar but less than that of C-O bond
so boiling point of C2?H5?Cl is less than that of C2?H5?OH
in C2?H5?OCH3?   , the C-O bond is polar but the weak polarity of ethers do not appreciably affect their boiling points

And alkane has the least boiling point than above compounds.
