Answer
(C) Total number of solute particles in the solution
Explanation:
- Colligative properties (like osmotic pressure, boiling point rise, freezing point drop) depend on how many particles are in solution, not what they are.
- More solute particles = greater effect
So, the correct answer is C — it’s all about the total particle count, ioniz
