Solution

The correct option is A greater for gases with lower solubility
According to Henry's law,
$P = K_{H} X K_{H} α \frac{1}{X}$
Where, $P =$ Partial pressure of gas
$X =$ solubility of gas in liquid
$K_{H} =$ Henry's constant
For highly soluble gas, Value of $K_{H}$ is very less and for gases with lower solubility value of $K_{H}$ is very high.
