The correct answer is: Molality

The elevation in its boiling point is directly proportional to the molality of the solution When a non-volatile solute is added to a volatile solvent. 

Tb=Tb '-Tb

Tb  α  molality

Tb =i×Kb×molality

Kb=Molal elevation constant

So, molality=TbKb

Hence, the molal elevation constant is the ratio of Elevation in boiling point to molality.
