  11. Pick out the wrong statement.

  12. A.
    System (of partially miscible liquid pairs), in which the mutual solubility increases with rise in temperature, are said to possess an upper consolute temperature.
    B.
    Systems, in which the mutual solubility increases with decrease in temperature, are said to possess lower consolute temperature.
    C.
    Nicotine-water system shows both an upper as well as a lower consolute temperature, implying that they are partially miscible between these two limiting temperatures.
    D.
    none of these
