Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

A pressure cooker traps steam, increasing the pressure inside. Higher pressure raises the boiling point of water above 100°C, allowing food to cook at higher temperatures and therefore faster. Option C is incorrect because pressure is high, not low. Option D is wrong because water boils at higher temperature, not lower.
