Correct answer and explanation

Correct answer: Boiling point increases with the increase of pressure

Explanation: āœ… Correct Answer: A. Boiling point increases with the increase of pressure šŸ“š Explanation: A pressure cooker traps steam inside, which significantly increases the internal pressure. According to physics, as the pressure on a liquid increases, its boiling point also rises. This allows the water to reach a much higher temperature without boiling away, which cooks the food much faster. It is an efficient way to save energy and time in the kitchen.
