Answer:

A. The image shows Boyle's Law because volume decreases as pressure increases.

Step-by-step explanation:

According to Boyle's Law, at constant temperature, pressure and volume have inverse relation that is as pressure would increase, volume would decrease.

According to Charles Law, at constant pressure, the volume is directly proportional to temperature.

According to the given graph and diagram, the temperature is constant and volume and pressure have inverse relation.

Thus, option A is correct.
