An aqueous solution of methanol is to be distilled in a tray column. High pressure steam is available as a source of heat. For a given reflux ratio and overhead composition, two options are being explored; (i) a reboiler is used and (ii) no reboiler is used but steam is fed directly to the bottom of the column. As compared to option (i), in option (ii) ____________________?

A Less number of trays are required
B Composition of the residue remains unchanged
C More number of trays are required but the residue composition remains unchanged
D More number of trays are required and the residue composition is more dilute in methanol
Correct Answer: Less number of trays are required
