The solute having a tendency to evaporate is known to be the non-volatile solute. The reason is the surface of the solute is filled with solute particles and there are very less chances for solvent particles to occupy the surface. This makes the solventless evaporated. This also results in lower vapor pressure of the solvent.
Here solvent is water and non-volatile solute is added to water. As said, it will decrease the vapor pressure of water, and evaporation of water also decreases. As the water must evaporate the boiling point of water will increase than the standard boiling point of water.
Hence, the statement is false which is option D
