(a) nature of solute
(b) temperature
(c) pressure
(i) (a) and (c) at constant T
(ii) (a) and (b) at constant P

Solution
(i) (a) and (c) at constant T
(ii) (a) and (b) at constant P
Explanation:
At constant temperature, the solubility of a gaseous solute in liquid depends on nature of solute and pressure. At constant pressure, solubility is dependent upon nature of solute and temperature.
