Solution

The correct option is A True
By applying pressure on a gas, the kinetic energy of the particles decreases which increases the force of attraction between the particles of matter. This force of attraction between the particles makes the movement of particles slow. Therefore, by applying pressure, particles of matter can be brought closer together due to decrease in kinetic energy.
