Solution

The correct options are
B

Liquefaction of gases


C

Corrosion of gases


Applying pressure means forcing the atoms of matter towards each other (reducing the free space between the particles). Thus, the application of pressure reduces the inter-atomic distance. As a result, the application of large pressure changes the gas into liquid first and then into a solid.
Reducing the temperature reduces the kinetic energy of the matter; thus, atoms of the particle will not move in random motion and will convert into liquid. As we apply pressure, interatomic distance decreases which lead to a change of state. Here applying pressure and reducing temperature leads to liquefaction of gasses, solidification of gases and solidification of liquids.
