Answer:

The distance between gas species are assumed to be large.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

In this case, since the ideal gas condition is a hypothetical state of gases at which they are at low pressure and high temperature, because it is assumed the molecules are neither attracted nor repelled by each other, we can infer that the correct statement is "the distance between gas species are assumed to be large" because the low pressure and high temperature ensure the molecules are far away from each other and therefore allowing the ideal equation to be used to model the case, otherwise a rigorous equation of state such as Peng-Robinson, Redlich-Kwong and other should be used to model it as gases actually undergo interaction between their molecules.

Best regards!
