Dulce Shaffer · Answer 1

A. it is the lowest at low temperatures

Explanation:

At low temperature the kinetic energy of a molecule is low. The kinetic energy is directly proportional to the temperature of the molecule. The kinetic energy of a molecule increases with the increase in the temperature that energize the molecules of a substance and makes them to move faster than before.

As the kinetic energy is proportional to temperature so it does not increase with decrease in the temperature (low temperature). The kinetic energy varies with the change in the temperature and it is not same at all temperature. The kinetic energy is highest at high temperature. Thus, option A is correct.
