Option 4 : Only C

Concept:

The boiling point refers to the temperature at which the vapor pressure of a liquid equals the pressure surrounding the liquid and the liquid changes into a vapor.
The boiling point of water varies with the air pressure.
The boiling point of a liquid at high pressure is higher than the boiling point of the same liquid at atmospheric pressure.

Explanation:

The normal boiling point of water is 100 degrees Celcius.
The boiling point of the water is affected by its purity.
- So, the impurities in the water increase the boiling point because impurities decrease the water molecules during boiling.
The temperature at which vapor pressure equals normal sea-level air pressure is known as the normal boiling point.
- The boiling point of water at sea level is 100^oC.
- Water boils at 212^oF at sea level.
At low pressure and high altitude, the boiling point is low due to the decrease in atmospheric pressure.
- From 100^oC it may decreases to 93^oC to 96^oC.

Thus, the correct answer is only C.
