Answer:

(c) temperature

Step-by-step explanation:

In a closed system, as the temperature increases, the molecules in the liquid are exited and converts into gas. The more the gas transformed, the more the gas(vapor) pressure. The less the gas transformed, the less the vapor pressure.

Therefore, temperature is a major factor in vapor pressure.
