Correct option is (a) Sum of the vapour pressure

To elaborate: If the mixture is soluble the partial pressure comes to the part.No liquid exist without pressure. Therefore, the pressure of the mixture can be determined by the sum of its vapour pressure as this concept is mostly useful for stream distillation.
