Which pair of quantities is held constant in Gay-Lussac's law of gases ( $P \propto T$ )?

AVolume and amount of gas
BPressure and temperature
CVolume and temperature
DPressure and amount of gas

Answer: A

Gay-Lussac's (pressure-temperature) law states that for a fixed amount of gas at constant volume the pressure is directly proportional to the absolute temperature.
