we know when F, O or N atoms are attached to hydrogens atoms, hydrogen bond will appear due to high electronegativity difference between them.

chemical formula of water is H₂O so at room temperature, water molecules is found in liquid because of hydrogen bonding.

but compound H₂S is found in gas because Sulphur atoms don't show hydrogen bond.

now you know as well, a gas has very low boiling point compare to liquid.

Therefore the boiling point of H₂S should be less than 300K.

Therefore the correct option is (2)
