Solution

The correct option is B directly proportional to the absolute temperature of the gas
The average kinetic energy of all the molecules is assumed to be directly proportional to the absolute temperature of the gas. This means that molecules of different gases at the same temperature have the same average kinetic energy. The kinetic energy of a moving molecule, like that of any moving object, is the energy associated with its motion.
