A good refrigerant has
- high condensing pressure, low evaporating temperature.
- high condensing pressure, high vaporating temperature.
- low condensing pressure, low vaporating temperature.
Explanation
A good refrigerant boils (vaporises) at a low temperature so it can absorb heat from the cooled space, and condenses at a modest pressure so the compressor and components are not overstressed. High condensing pressures would demand heavier plant and more compressor work.

will you please explain the reason??

The refrigerant should have low boiling point and low freezing point.
2) It must have low specific heat and high latent heat. Because high specific heat decreases the refrigerating effect per kg of refrigerant and high latent heat at low temperature increases the refrigerating effect per kg of
refrigerant.
3) The pressures required to be maintained in the evaporator and condenser
should be low enough to reduce the material cost and must be positive to
avoid leakage of air into the system.
4) It must have high critical pressure and temperature to avoid large power
requirements
so the answer is A
