Correct option (d) water vapour
Explanation:
When you first start to boil water, the bubbles are basically air bubbles. These are bubbles formed from the dissolved gases in water. The solubility of gases decreases when the temperature is increased, and that is why the dissolved air bubbles come out from the water. Then, as the boiling point of water is reached, water vapor starts to form in the form of bubbles.
