The azeotropic mixture of acetone and water at atmospheric pressure has a composition of 95.6 \% acetone and 4.4 \% water. This means that if a mixture of acetone and water with this composition is distilled, the vapours will have the same composition as the liquid. Hence, option (b) is the correct answer.
