Answer
D. 4300 mmHg
Explanation
This is a multiple-choice question involving the application of Boyle's Law, which states that for a given mass of gas at constant temperature, the pressure and volume are inversely proportional (P1V1 = P2V2). Here, P1 and V1 are the initial pressure and volume, and P2 and V2 are the final pressure and volume.
