Correct Answer: there is high pressure inside the boiler


Solution : The correct option is there is high pressure inside the boiler.

Due to the high pressure inside the boiler in a steam engine, boiling water has a high temperature. High pressure allows water to reach higher temperatures before boiling. The engine's turbines or pistons are then propelled by this high-temperature, high-pressure steam, which produces mechanical work or electricity.
