At Boyle's temperature the value of compressibility factor `Z=(PV_(m)//RT=V_("real")//V_("ideal"))` has a value of 1, over wide range of pressure. This is due to the fact that in the van der Waal's equation:

B. the constant 'b' is negligible and not 'a'
C. both the constant 'a' and 'b' are negligible
D. the effect produced due to the molecular attractions compensates the effect produced due to the molecular volume.
