Solution

The correct option is C $V \propto \frac{1}{P} (at constant T)$
If $P, V, T$ represents pressure, volume and temperature of the gas, the correct representation of Boyle's law is $V \propto \frac{1}{P} (At constant T)$
According to Boyle's law, at constant temperature, the volume of a given mass of a gas is inversely proportional to its pressure.
