Answer:

A gas is most likely to exist at B) High temperatures and low pressures

Step-by-step explanation:

Ideal gas behaviour is likely to be at high temperature and low pressure .

The causes of deviations from ideal behaviour may be due to the following two assumptions of kinetic theory of gases.

The volume occupied by gas molecules is negligibly small as compared to the volume occupied by the gas.

The forces of attraction between gas molecules are negligible.

Deviation occur for real gases with a minor difference from that of an Ideal gas.

When real gases are at low pressures and high temperatures they behave close enough to ideal gases
