B. same boiling and same freezing point

Equimolar solutions in the same solvent will have the same boiling point and the same freezing point. This is because the boiling point and freezing point of a solution are determined by the nature of the solvent and the total concentration of solute particles (regardless of the specific solute) in the solution. As long as the molarity or molality of the solute is the same in both solutions, the boiling and freezing points will be the same. This phenomenon is known as colligative properties.
