We can use Boyle's law, which states that the pressure and volume of a gas are inversely proportional at constant temperature. Mathematically, this can be written as P1V1 = P2V2, where P1 and V1 are the initial pressure and volume, and P2 and V2 are the final pressure and volume.

Substituting the given values, we get:
(760 mmHg)(4.0 L) = (3.2 atm)(V2)
V2 = (760 mmHg)(4.0 L) / (3.2 atm) = 950 L

Therefore, the final gas volume is 950 L, which corresponds to choice (D).
