The vapor pressure of anything at its boiling point is 1 atmosphere. That is the definition of boiling point, the vapor pressure is just enough to overcome atmospheric pressure. It could also be stated as: 760 mmHg (torr), 29.92 inHg, 14.696 PSI, 1013.25 millibars, or 0 PSIG.

ImprovedThe problem to answer this Q. correctly, is that the atmosferic pressure is NOT the same as one atmosphere:

On sea level and under normal, average weather conditions it is most of the time true, so then the A. is correct.

But high in the mountains cyclohexane will boil at a lower temperature (than 810C) because of the lower (than 1 ATM.) atmosferic pressure.

The above definition of boiling point is CORRECT, but the first statement (The vapor pressure of anything at its boiling point is 1 atmosphere) is NOT

How can water made to boil at 95 degrees celsius or 105 degrees celsius?

Water boils at 100 degrees Celsius at standard atmospheric pressure. To boil water at 95 degrees Celsius, you can increase the pressure in a sealed container, which raises the boiling point. Similarly, to boil water at 105 degrees Celsius, you would need to decrease the pressure in a sealed container to lower the boiling point.
