Best answer
Correct answer is (c) Triangle

The best I can explain: In the McCabe-Thiele plot, the number of theoretical stages required for a given separation is represented by the number of triangles that can be drawn between operating lines and equilibrium curve. The reboiler is represented as the last triangle on the plot.
