Answer: C) decrease, increase, increasing.

Explanation: There is a depression in freezing point when a non volatile solute is added to the solvent and an elevation in boiling point when a non volatile solute is added to a solvent.

Pure water freezes at zero degree C. If a non volatile solute is added to water then solution freezes below zero degree C. On the other hands, if a non volatile solute is added to a solvent then boiling point increases.

The relationship between depression in freezing point and molality is shown by the equation:


\Delta T_f=-i*m*k_f

where,
\Delta T_f is depression in freezing point, i is Van't hoff factor, m is molality and kf is the molal freezing point depression constant.

We have almost similar equation for elevation in boiling point.


\Delta T_b=i*m*k_b


\Delta T_b stands for elevation in boiling point and kb stands for molal boiling point constant.
