B Correct answer
Explanation

Original mixture: 75% water means 90g water and 30g alcohol in 120g. After adding 30g water: total mixture = 150g, water = 90+30 = 120g. New % water = 120/150 × 100 = 80%. Wait, this is wrong. If water is 75% by weight, then in 120g: water = 0.75 × 120 = 90g, alcohol = 30g. Adding 30g water: water = 90+30 = 120g, total = 120+30 = 150g. % water = 120/150 = 0.8 = 80%. This matches the claimed answer.
