\phantom{}|\\
\ce{H3C - C - CH3}\\
\phantom{}|\\
\phantom{..}\ce{Br}
\end{array}\]

Solution
(c) < (a) < (b)
Explanation:
Boiling points of isomeric haloalkanes decrease with increase in branching as with increase in branching surface area decreases which leads to decrease in intermolecular forces.
