(TRUE) The statement is True.
Explanation:
$1$. Gases consist of particles that are far apart and move randomly at high speeds.
$2$. By applying high pressure,the distance between gas particles is reduced,bringing them closer together.
$3$. By reducing the temperature,the kinetic energy of the gas particles decreases,causing them to slow down.
$4$. When particles are brought close enough and their kinetic energy is sufficiently low,the intermolecular forces of attraction become strong enough to hold them together,resulting in the transition of the gas into a liquid state.
