Solution

The correct option is C Container at 300 k
The kinetic energy of the molecules is the function of the temperature. Hence, the kinetic energy of the molecule is higher than the molecule which is at the lower temperature. The speed of the molecule has the maximum value for the molecule which has the highest kinetic energy among the molecules.
