Figure $\mathrm{P} 11.2$ shows a particle-level vicw of a scaled container partially filled with a solution of two miscible liquids: X (blue spheres) and $Y$ (red spheres). Which of the following statements about substances $\mathrm{X}$ and $\mathrm{Y}$ are true?
a. Y is the solvent in this solution.
b. Pure $Y$ has a higher vapor pressure than pure X.
c. The presence of $Y$ in the solution lowers the vapor pressure of $\mathrm{X}$.
d. If $Y$ were not present, there would be fewer total particles in the gas above the liquid solution.
