Which characteristic of gas is used in supplying oxygen cylinders to hospital?
Well...this question has two answers.The characteristic of gas that would be used in supplying oxygen cylinders to hospitals is compressibility. Oxygen cylinders are filled to, depending on the gas company you buy yours from, between 2000 and 2500 psi. Normal atmospheric pressure is 15 psi. (I know I should give you these numbers in kPa, but my gauge is calibrated in PSI.) Compressing the oxygen allows you to fit over 150 times the uncompressed volume in a cylinder. However! With the exception of very small rural hospitals, no hospital or city fire department wants to receive compressed oxygen. They use so much oxygen that the only efficient way to deal with it is to receive it in liquid form and regasify it as needed.

What does the lungs do in a frog?
aid in supplying oxygen to the body
Where does oxygen in hospital tanks comes from?
Medical and industrial oxygen is typically made by liquefying and fractionating air which is 21% oxygen. Gas suppliers then ship the oxygen either in liquid form or as compressed gas in pressure cylinders. Hospitals typically have large liquid oxygen tanks which provide all the gaseous oxygen to the wall outlets via pipes. Additionally, there are pressure tanks of gaseous oxygen for portable and emergency use. However, there is some growth in molecular sieve technologies which can allow hospitals to filter nearly pure oxygen directly from the air.

Yes
Why do you need oxygen cylinders when you go scuba diving?
The simple answer is ... you don't. A majority of scuba dives use compressed air in the cylinders. Therefore you don't need "oxygen" cylinders. HOWEVER, if you are a diver that is diving on Nitrox, in which divers change the amount of oxygen vs nitrogen in their air, then your tank needs to be "oxygen clean" because you are putting oxygen in first, then nitrogen.
Mountaineers carrying oxygen cylinders with them?
the air becomes rarefied and has a very low oxygen
