The correct answer is: 2

Physisorption is reversible in nature. It has low adsorption enthalpy nearly 20 to 40 kJ/mol. It results in a multimolecular layer. It decreases with increase in temperature. Activation energy is less or zero in physisorption.

C and E are correct. Hence, the correct answer is 2.
