B
It has less product per volume.
C
It increases its volume.
D
None of the above
AI Explanation
The correct answer is A) It reduces its volume. Transporting gas under refrigeration is advantageous because it reduces the volume of the gas. By cooling the gas, the molecules slow down and come closer together, resulting in a smaller overall volume. This reduced volume makes the gas easier and more efficient to transport, as it requires less storage space on the vessel. The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not accurately describe the effect of refrigeration on gas volume.
