Answer:

A. At low pressure

Step-by-step explanation:

At low pressure, there are generally less collisions between the molecules. Since the intermolecular forces depend on the distance between the molecules (the closer the molecules, the stronger the forces), less collisions means also a larger average distance between the molecules, therefore fewer intermolecular forces.
