Solution with Explanation:

Step 1: Understanding the Boiling Point Concept

• The boiling point of a liquid depends on atmospheric pressure.
• At sea level, atmospheric pressure is higher, and water boils at 100°C.
• At higher altitudes (hill stations), atmospheric pressure is lower, meaning less energy is required for water molecules to escape as vapor, reducing the boiling point.

Step 2: Evaluating the Options

• Option A (Same as at sea level)  Incorrect – The boiling point decreases with altitude.
• Option B (More than that at sea level)  Incorrect – The boiling point actually decreases at higher altitudes.
• Option C (Less than that at sea level)  Correct – The boiling point is lower at a hill station due to reduced atmospheric pressure.
• Option D (Equal to the melting point of ice)  Incorrect – The boiling point does not drop to 0°C (melting point of ice).

Correct Answer:

 Option C: Less than that at sea level
