Real gas molecules have a nonzero molecular volume, which means that they take up space and cannot be considered as point masses in the ideal gas law. This results in a decrease in the available volume for the gas to occupy and hence the pressure increases, leading to deviation from ideal behavior. The other choices are not relevant to the deviation from ideal behavior of real gases.
