Solution

The correct option is C (P+aV2)
The term that accounts for intermolecular force in Vander Waal's equation for non ideal gas is (P+aV2)
The term (aV2) represents pressure correction due to presence of intermolecular forces of attraction between gas molecules. Here the van der waals constant a is a proportionality constant called the coefficient of attraction.Its value depends upon the nature of the gas.
