Which outcome primarily occurs when raising the ambient pressure around boiling water?

A)Increased water boiling temperature✓

B)Spontaneous sublimation temperature decrease

C)Increase in water freezing temperature

D)Decreased water thermal expansion coefficient

💡 Explanation

Increased ambient pressure around boiling water elevates the boiling point because maintaining *vapor pressure equilibrium* requires higher kinetic energy; therefore, the water temperature rises rather than exhibiting decreased sublimation, different from lowered pressures.
