Why do real gases deviate from ideal behavior in the $pV$ vs $p$ and $p$ vs $V$ graphs at specific temperatures?

  • A
    Due to the absence of intermolecular forces.
  • B
    Due to the finite size of gas molecules and intermolecular interactions.
  • C
    Because gas molecules are point masses.
  • D
    Because collisions are perfectly elastic at all temperatures.
