Answer: Option (c) is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

When we increase the temperature then there will be increase in kinetic energy of molecules of a substance. As a result, there will be increase in number of molecules transforming into vapor form.

Thus, there will be increase in vapor pressure of the liquid.

Hence, we can conclude that vapor pressure is directly related to temperature of the liquid.
