The correct answers are: I is physisorption and II is chemisorption, IV is chemisorption and II is chemisorption
Graph (I) and (III) represent physisorption because, in physisorption, the amount of adsorption decreases with the increase of temperature and increases with the increase of pressure.

Graph (II) represent chemisorption, because in chemisorption amount of adsorption increases with the increase of temperature. Graph (IV) is showing the formation of a chemical bond, hence chemisorption.
