Correct Answer: boiling point of water increases


Solution : The correct option is the boiling point of water increases .

The boiling point of water rises when a pinch of salt is added to it. This phenomenon is caused by a mechanism known as boiling point elevation or the boiling point elevation effect. The boiling point of a solvent, like water, rises when a non-volatile solute, like salt, is dissolved in it.
