Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) low pressure and high temperature.

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Generally, a gas behaves more like an ideal gas at higher temperature and lower pressure, as the potential energy due to intermolecular forces becomes less significant compared with the particle's kinetic energy, and the size of the molecules becomes less significant compared to the empty space between them.
Option 2 is correct
