Solution

The correct option is A

Both [A] and [R] are true and [R] is the correct explanation of [A]


The pressure inside a container is due to the fact that the gas molecules which are always in motion hit and exert the force on the walls of the container. When the temperature is increased, the vibrational kinetic energy of molecules increases. This increases the pressure inside the container and the force exerted by the particles on the walls of the container.
