Answer:

A. Equal to the vapor pressure of the solution.

Step-by-step explanation:

Considering Raoult's law.

The vapor pressure of the solution is proportional to the mole fraction of solvent in the solution, a relationship known as Raoult’s law. Solutions that obey Raoult’s law are called ideal solutions. Most real solutions exhibit positive or negative deviations from Raoult’s law.
