Why is it easy to compress a gas?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Because particles are far apart

The governing concept is the particle nature of matter. In a gas, particles are separated by comparatively large empty spaces and move freely in all directions. When pressure is applied, the particles can be pushed closer together, so the volume decreases substantially without changing the particles themselves into another substance. This is why a syringe, balloon, or gas cylinder can contain a gas under compression. Option A is correct because it identifies the large intermolecular spaces. Option B describes neither the normal motion of gas particles nor the reason for compressibility. Colour and heaviness, mentioned in C and D, do not determine whether a gas can be compressed.
