    B. The gas must release heat to its surroundings.

    Explanation:

    Since the process is reversible, it must be slow. Since temperature is kept constant so the internal energy is constant, Since volume is decreased, pressure must be increased. Since work is done on the gas (gas is compressed), so heat must be released by the gas so that its internal energy remains constant.
