Which of the graphs to the right represents Pressure  versus Temperature for a fixed mass of an ideal gas at a constant Volume?
      
P1V1       P2V2
-------- = ----------   Combined Gas Law   Cancel Constant Terms of n and V
n1T1       n2T2 

  
P1      P2         This is a direct relationship because it is division with all the subscripts of 1
---- = -----       on one side and all subscripts of 2 on the other side.
T1      T2 

   
Direct Relationships of Gases with Temperature in Kelvin instead of Celsius is a straight line starting at the origin.  This is Gay Lussac's Law

Other Direct Relationships are Charles' Law (V vs T) and Avogadro's Law (V vs n)

Boyles' Law  (P1V1  =  P2V2 )  is an inverse relationship.  If volume was on the X axis, C would be the correct graph for Boyles' Law.

The Correct Answer is B.
