B Correct answer
Explanation

 It may be defined as the temperature above which a gas cannot be liquefied by application of pressure. A gas will remain as gas above critical temperature and in order to liquefy it by compression, it has to be cooled to its critical temperature. Critical temperature is denoted by Tc.
