According to Boyle's Law, the pressure and volume of a gas are inversely proportional. Therefore, we can use the formula P1V1=P2V2, where P1=2.2 atm, V1=4.4 L, P2=1.0 atm, and we are solving for V2. Rearranging the formula, we get V2=P1V1/P2=2.2*4.4/1.0=9.68 or approximately 9.7 L. Therefore, the best choice is C.
