Solution

The correct option is B False
Water freezes at 0°C and boils and vapourizes at 100°C only at atmospheric pressure. Change in pressure affects the boiling and melting points of water. For example, when the pressure is decreased, the boiling point of water decreases, meaning it gets boiled at a temperature lower than 100°C.
