Answer: The correct answer is Option c.

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation for the combined ideal gas law is:

PV=nRT

This law has arrived from the combination of four laws:

1) Boyle's Law: This law states that pressure is inversely proportional to the volume of the gas at constant temperature.

$P\propto (1)/(V)$ (At constant temperature)

2) Charles' Law: This law states that volume is directly proportional to the temperature of the gas at constant pressure.

$V\propto T$ (At constant pressure)

3) Gay-Lussac's Law: This law states that pressure is directly proportional to the temperature of the gas at constant volume.

$P\propto T$ (At constant volume)

4) Avogadro's Law: This law states that volume is directly proportional to the number of moles of the gas at constant pressure and temperature.

$V\propto n$ (At constant temperature and pressure)

From the above information, we get that the correct answer is Option c.
