Detailed Solution
Physical adsorption takes place with decrease in enthalpy, thus exothermic change. It is physical adsorption and does not require activation. Thus, (a) is incorrect. Being physical adsorption ΔH<0 thus, (b) is correct. Exothermic reaction if favoured a low temperature thus (c) is incorrect. Physical adsorption is always reversible, thus (d) is incorrect.
