The van der Waals equation for real gases recognizes that

(A) the molecular atrractions between paritcles of a gas decreases the pressure exerted by the gas
(B) the non-zero volumes of gas particles effectively decrease the amount of "empty space" between them
(C) gas particles have non-zero volumes and interact with one another
