Solution

The correct option is B

Pressure is ​minimum at B.​


As altitude of a region increases, the atmospheric pressure of that region decreases. Consequently, the boiling point of a liquid decreases.
  • Place A has highest boiling point. This signifies that it has highest atmospheric pressure.
  • Place B is at medium altitude so the atmospheric pressure at B will be moderate . Consequently, its pressure will also be moderate.
  • Place C has lowest boiling point. This signifies that it has lowest atmospheric pressure.
Hence, the incorrect statement is option (d).
