Answer: Option A

Step-by-step explanation:

When we squeeze a gas or a material, a force acts upon it making it to compress which increases the pressure subsequently as tension and compression is always accompanied by pressure.

The temperature of gas also increases as work is done due to transfer of energy which alters the existing temperature.
