    Answer: (C) Either rise in temperature or pressure As you can see in the given graph that Albite+water and melt phase boundary has negative slope in P-T curve. It means that either increase in temperature or pressure will lead to melting of Albite + water. You can also understand it by taking any point in Albite+water field.
