• A. increase in pressure
  
• B. decrease in pressure
  
• C. both A & B
• D. none of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is A increase in pressure

As the $pressure$rises, the temperature of the water and steam inside the sealed pot (the $pressure$ $cooker$) also rises above the normal 100ºC (212ºF) boiling point temperature.$Pressure$ $cooker$ temperatures at different $pressure$: the higher the $pressure$ , the shorter the $cooking$ time.
