Answer» CORRECT answer is (a) the GAS liquefies easily

The best I can EXPLAIN: The value of an in van der Waals equation is a measure of the MAGNITUDE of intermolecular attractive FORCES within a gas. It is independent of temperature and pressure. As attractive forces are more, the gas can be liquefied easily.
