In the following compressibility factor $(Z)$ versus pressure graph at $300 \, K$,the compressibility of $CH_{4}$ at pressure $< 200 \, bar$ deviates from ideal behaviour because

  • A
    the molar volume of $CH_{4}$ is less than its molar volume in the ideal state
  • B
    the molar volume of $CH_{4}$ is same as that in its ideal state
  • C
    intermolecular interactions between $CH_{4}$ molecules decrease
  • D
    the molar volume of $CH_{4}$ is more than its molar volume in the ideal state
