Correct option is C
The correct answer is (c) The particles move faster
As temperature increases, the kinetic energy of particles increases.
This leads to faster movement of the particles in all states of matter (solid, liquid, gas).
In gases, particles move much faster and farther apart as temperature rises.
In liquids, particles move more freely, increasing fluidity.
In solids, particles vibrate more vigorously at higher temperatures.
Information Booster:
Temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy of particles.
Higher temperature → more energy → faster particle motion.
Particle motion explains expansion in solids and evaporation in liquids.
Faster-moving particles may lead to state changes (like melting or boiling).
This principle is used in thermometers, heating systems, and thermal expansion devices.
