The correct option is A higher entropy of the solution relative to that of pure solvent
The fundamental cause of all colligative properties is the higher entropy of the solution relative to that of the pure solvent. The presence of solute particles in the solution leads to an increase in the entropy, or the randomness, of the solution, when compared to the pure solvent.

Addition of a non-volatile solute to a solvent always increases the colligative property such as π,ΔPP∘,ΔTb and ΔTf. All these colligative properties are directly proportional to the molality. The increase in colligative properties is due to increase in number of solute particles.
