The correct answer is D. Both A and C are correct.When dissolving a gas into a liquid, decreasing the temperature generally increases the solubility of the gas. This is because lower temperatures reduce the kinetic energy of the gas molecules, making them more likely to interact with the liquid molecules and dissolve.Increasing the pressure also increases the solubility of the gas in the liquid. This is known as Henry's law, which states that the solubility of a gas in a liquid is directly proportional to the pressure of the gas above the liquid.
