Solution

The correct option is D directly, inversely
Henry's law is used to quantify the solubility of gases in solvents. The solubility of gas in a solvent is directly proportional to the partial pressure of the gas.
$p = k c$
$p =$ partial pressure
$k =$ temperature constant
$c =$ concentration of dissolved gas
The solubility of the gas in a solvent is inversely proportional to temperature.
