Answer»

Right ANSWER is (b) collide with each other during random motion

To explain I would say: As the particles of gas travel in STRAIGHT lines and move in a random motion and collide with each other and also collide with the WALLS of the CONTAINER, the pressure is exerted on the walls of the container in all DIRECTIONS.
