Solution

Dear Awesomeness,

Gases are poor or weak conductor of electricity hence to make them ionize we need low pressure and high voltage. So that they can be able to conduct electricity due to ions.

(B) Ideal gases cannot be liquefied.
(C) Ideal gas behaviour is observed by real gases at low pressures.
(D) Ideal gases do not exist.
The correct statements are:

In higher altitudes the temperature is very low so conceptually the solubility should be high, but it is not so why in this example only pressure is taken into consideration? why not temperature?
