Consider the following table:
Gas $a / (kPa \cdot dm^6 \cdot mol^{-2})$ $b / (dm^3 \cdot mol^{-1})$
$A$ $642.32$ $0.05196$
$B$ $155.21$ $0.04136$
$C$ $431.91$ $0.05196$
$D$ $155.21$ $0.4382$

$a$ and $b$ are van der Waals constants. The correct statement about the gases is:

  • A
    Gas $C$ will occupy more volume than gas $A$; gas $B$ will be lesser compressible than gas $D$.
  • B
    Gas $C$ will occupy lesser volume than gas $A$; gas $B$ will be more compressible than gas $D$.
  • C
    Gas $C$ will occupy lesser volume than gas $A$; gas $B$ will be lesser compressible than gas $D$.
  • D
    Gas $C$ will occupy more volume than gas $A$; gas $B$ will be more compressible than gas $D$.
