Solution
The correct option is A Condensation The substance Z will condense from gas to liquid as pressure is increased by keeping temperature constant. As can be seen from the graph, a vertical line is drawn from the point P= 0.5 atm and T= 200 K. This line shows that when temperature is kept constant and pressure is increased, the phase changes from gas to liquid.
