Dear Student,
According to Boyle's law, pressure exerted by a gas is inversely proportional to its volume at constant temperature and pressure.
A. will justify the application of Boyle's law. This is because if we increase the pressure applied on gas, its volume decreases i.e. the gas will get compressed.
B,C,D will not justify application of Boyle's law as here they are talking about T and n which are kept constant in Boyle's law.
