Solution

The correct option is A Increase in solubility
In dissolution of gas in solvent, gas is in equilibrium with the liquid solution.

Rate of dissolution of gas=Rate of escape of gas from the liquid

When the pressure of the gas is increased, population density of the ​gas molecules increases and the equilibrium between gas and liquid ​gets disturbed​ and to restore the equilibrium more gas molecules escape into the solution phase which result in increase in solubility of gas.
