Solution

The correct option is C Have high compressibility
Gas particles have high interparticle space between them. When external pressure is applied during compression, the gaseous particles move close to each other, thereby reducing the gaseous volume. Because of this, large amount of gases can be compressed and put into small cylinders that are transported easily.
