  4. D I,II & IV only
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) I,II & V only

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Physical adsorption or physisorption is favoured at low temperatures when inter molecular forces are stronger. High surface area provides more molecules to accumulate and high pressure brings them closer.
