The normal boiling point of water is $100 \,^{\circ}C$ and standard boiling point of water is $99.6 \,^{\circ}C$.
The temperature at which vapour pressure of liquid is equal to the external pressure is called boiling temperature at that pressure.

The Correct Option isB
Solution and Explanation
At $1$ atm pressure, boiling temperature is called normal boiling point and if pressure is $1$ bar then the boiling point is called standard boiling point of the liquid. $1$ bar pressure is slightly less than $1$ atm pressure therefore, standard boiling point of the liquid is slightly lower than the normal boiling point.
