Solution

The correct option is A
least kinetic energy

When we compare the particles in solids, liquids and gases, the particles in solids have

the least distance between them

a high intermolecular force of attraction

the least kinetic energy

This is easy to see if we just think about how rigid solids are as compared to liquids and gases.
