Solution

The correct option is E heated to a higher temperature
According to the Kinetic-Molecular Theory, the kinetic energy of the molecules increases when they are heated to a higher temperature.
The kinetic energy is directly proportional to the absolute temperature.
Kinetic energy absolute temperature.
As temperature increases, kinetic energy increases.
As temperature decreases, kinetic energy decreases.
