D is the correct answer
why?, because when you add salt (NaCl) to rice it boils faster it doesn't freeze salt works like a catalysis it fasten the rate of a reaction

adding impurities to water decreases it's freezing point and increases it's boiling point.
pouring salt on an icy road increases it's melting point.

Adding sodium chloride (NaCl) to water to form a solution would lead to:

D. decrease in freezing point and increase in boiling point.

This is because sodium chloride is an electrolyte, and when it dissolves in water, it dissociates into ions (Na⁺ and Cl⁻), increasing the number of solute particles in the solution. This phenomenon is known as colligative properties. The increase in the number of solute particles leads to a decrease in the freezing point (freezing point depression) and an increase in the boiling point (boiling point elevation) of the solution compared to pure water.

the ans is A impurities increase both the boling and freexing point of water

adding NaCl to H2O decrease it freezing point and increase it boiling point that is why NaCl is poured in walk way during icey period cause it help melt down the ice In the walk way
