ANSWER

OPTION B

Explanation:

Boyle's law state that "the volume of a given gas is inversely proportional to its pressure provided the temperature remains constant."

Mathematically, this law can be translated below as


\begin{gathered} P\text{ }\propto\text{ }(1)/(V) \\ P\text{ = }\frac{K\text{ }*\text{ 1}}{V} \\ P\text{ = }(K)/(V) \\ K\text{ = PV} \end{gathered}

Therefore, when the temperature is constant, the temperature cancels out and it will remain only pressure and volume.

Hence, the correct option is option B
