B. water will boil at a lower temperature on Venus than on Earth.
Step-by-step explanation:
Because temperature and pressure are directly proportional... increase in pressure will increase in the atmospheric temperature.... Venus has higher pressure than earth that also means it has higher atmospheric temperature and as the temperature is already high the water will require lesser heat to boil
