Which of the following graphs shows the correct relationship between the pressure and volume of an ideal gas at a given temperature? Note the origin corresponds to P = 0 and V = 0.

The correct relationship between pressure and volume at a given temperature is described by Boyle's Law, which states that when temperature is constant, the product of pressure and volume is a constant. This means that as pressure increases, volume must decrease, and vice versa. The graph in choice C shows this inverse relationship, with pressure decreasing as volume increases and vice versa. The other graphs do not show an inverse relationship between pressure and volume, and therefore do not correctly represent Boyle's Law.
