Physisorption is also known as physical adsorption and it is an exothermic process. Its adsorption enthalpy is low, nearly 20 to 40 kJ/mol. In physisorption, the gas is accumulated on the solid surface due to weak forces known as Van der Waals forces, and it is reversible in nature. 

Hence the correct answer is (C).
