The correct answer is D) high pressure raises the boiling point of water
You might use a pressure cooker to speed up your cooking time because the hot air, steam, and water are all trapped inside it. This creates an environment where the temperature and pressure are both higher, which helps to tenderize the food and cook it faster.
The increased pressure also forces moisture into the rice, which helps it cook faster and more evenly. All of this combines to make pressure cooker cooking a great way to save time in the kitchen.
