Solution

The correct option is C short in duration
The assumption of the kinetic molecular theory
1. A gas consists of molecules in constant random motion.
2. Gas molecules influence each other only by collision, they exert no other forces on each other.
3.all collisions between gas molecules are perfectly elastic and short in duration. Thus all KE is conserved
4. The volume actually occupied by the molecules by the gas is negligibly small.
