Answer:

B ONLY

Step-by-step explanation:

Decreasing the volume of a gas increases the pressure of the gas. ... More collisions mean more force, so the pressure will increase. When the volume decreases, the pressure increases. This shows that the pressure of a gas is inversely proportional to its volume.
