Solution

The correct option is A increases with rise in temperature.
Mean Free Path (λmean)=RT2πd2NAP

where,
R is ideal gas constant
T is the temperature in Kelvin
d is the collision diameter
NA is the Avogadro's no.
P is pressure

So, the mean free path of a gas increases with
1) increase in temperature
2) decrease in pressure

Hence, Option "C" is the correct answer.
