Solution

The correct option is A <100 C
At atmospheric pressure (1 atm), water boils at 100 C. When pressure is reduced, liquids tend to boil at a temperature lower than their actual boiling point. So, water boils at a temperature lower than 100 C, when the surrounding pressure is reduced than 1 atm.
