a

For the gas A, a = 0 and its dependence on p is linear at all pressure

b

For the gas B, b = 0 and its dependence on p is linear at all pressure

c

For the gas C, which is typical real gas for which neither a nor b = 0. By knowing the minima and point of the intersection, with Z = 1, a and b can be calcuiated

d

At high pressure, the slope is positive for all real gases

answer is B.
