The number of gas particles inside the ball decreases statement does not explain the decrease in size of a basketball after you take it outside on a cold day, therefore the correct answer is option D
The total applied force per unit of area is known as the pressure.
Both the external force being applied and the area to which it is being applied affect the pressure.
pressure = Force /Area
the pressure is expressed by the unit pascal or N /m²
