Answer:

A. The boiling and condensation points of a substance are the same

Step-by-step explanation:

The boiling point of a substance is the temperature at which it changes from liquid to gas while the point at which a substance changes from gas to liquid is called its condensation point. As long as a substance is pure, it condenses at the same point at which it boils.

Pure water for example has a condensation point and boiling point of 100 degrees Celsius.
