D

Explanation:

The graph of Boyle's law is known as pressure-volume graph or PV curve. It is as follows:

As observed from the graph above, pressure increases with a decrease in volume, and vice versa. Thus, pressure is inversely proportional to volume. Other parameters (temperature and amount of gas) are constant in the graph above.

Volume is on the x-axis and pressure, on the y-axis. The equation of the curve is PV = k, which is the equation of Boyle's law. The curve is hyperbolic in nature having two asymptotes: P = 0 (horizontal) and V = 0 (vertical).

As volume tends to positive infinity, pressure tends to zero, and we get the horizontal asymptote, P = 0.

Horizontal asymptote, P=0

When volume approaches zero, pressure approaches infinity, and it results in the vertical asymptote, V = 0.
