Detailed Solution

Physisorption arises because of van der Waal's forces between adsorbent and adsorbate molecules. It results in a multimolecular layer on the adsorbent surface under high pressure. It has also low ΔHadsorption  of about

-20 to -40 kJ per mole.

Also due to the presence of weak intermolecular forces they are easily liquefiable.

Thus, it is clear from the above that its ΔHadsorption  is negative and low.

Hence, option (C) is the correct option.
