Solution

The correct option is B Ethanol + acetone
Mixture of ethanol and acetone shows positive deviation from Raoult’s law. In pure ethanol, molecules are hydrogen bonded. On adding acetone, its molecules get in between the host molecules and break some of the hydrogen bonds between them. Due to weakening of interactions, the solution shows positive deviation from Raoult’s law
