On the basis of the kinetic theory of gases,the gas exerts pressure because its molecules:

  • A
    continuously lose their energy till it reaches the wall.
  • B
    are attracted by the walls of the container.
  • C
    continuously stick to the walls of the container.
  • D
    suffer a change in momentum when they impinge on the walls of the container.
