Correct Answer

C

Explanation

The peculiarities of the boiling point of a liquid are described by statements I and IV. When a liquid's saturated vapor pressure is equal to the external pressure, it boils (statement I). Additionally, dissolved substances in pure water decrease the boiling point (statement IV). These two statements together capture the peculiarities of the boiling point of a liquid.
