Solution

The correct option is B

H - bonding


When we try to liquefy a gas, it is necessary to reduce temperature and increase pressure.

When this is done to NH3, this process becomes easier as H-bonds also help in pulling together the molecules.

This will not happen in HCl because of the bigger size of Cl.
