Option D

Particles of matter continuously move or vibrate within the empty spaces that separate them from one another summarizes the kinetic theory of matter

Explanation:

The kinetic theory of matter affirms that every matter has numerous, extremely tiny particles that are uniformly moving or in a constant phase of the movement. The extent to which the particles go is circumscribed by the quantity of energy they have and their relevance to other particles.

There are spaces within particles of matter. The mediocre quantity of empty space within molecules grows progressively kinder as a unit of matter proceeds from the solid to the liquid and gas forms.
