(B) One mole of acetone requires less heat to vaporise than $1$ mole of water.
Enthalpy of vaporisation is the amount of energy required to vaporise one mole of a liquid at constant temperature and pressure.
Since water requires more heat for vaporisation,it has a higher enthalpy of vaporisation compared to acetone.
This can be represented as $(\Delta H_{vap})_{water} > (\Delta H_{vap})_{acetone}$.
