Why does increasing the heat under a pan of boiling water not decrease the cooking time for hard-boiled eggs? (Select all that apply.)

increasing the heat under the pan will not raise the water temperature
increasing the heat under the pan will raise the temperature, but eggs are not affected by this
increasing the heat under the pan will only evaporate water faster increasing the heat under the pan will raise the pan temperature, but not affect the eggs increasing the heat under the pan will increase the boiling point of water and therefore not affect the eggs

increasing the heat under the pan will not increase the temperature of boiling water.

water boils at 212F and stays at this temp until all the liquid water changes to vapor/gas phase.
