Solution

The correct option is A
Greater

The density of hydrogen chloride is greater than the density of air. Hydrogen chloride is polar in nature, thus the interaction between the molecules are stronger compared to the gases and particles present in the air. So the molecules are closer to each other. Hence the density of hydrogen chloride is great than that of air.
