Correct answer: B. T _ 4 > T _ 3 > T _ 2 > T _ 1

Physisorption is exothermic in nature. Therefore, in accordance with Le-Chatliers principle, it decreases with increase in temperature. This means physisorption occurs at low temperature more readily. So, The correct order of temperature for curves I, II, III, IV are :

{T}_{4} > {T}_{3} > {T}_{2} > {T}_{1}
