Solution

The correct option is C $T_{3} > T_{2} > T_{1}$
Increase in temperature leads to the increase in the motion of molecules. As a result the value of molecular speed increases with temperature, therefore the Maxwell distribution curve shifts towards right with the increase in temperature.
The Maxwell - Boltzmann distribution is affected by temperature. At lower temperatures, the molecules have less energy. Therefore, the speeds of the molecules are lower and the distribution has a smaller range. As the temperature of the molecules increases, the distribution flattens out.

Correct order of temperature is:-
$T_{3} > T_{2} > T_{1}$
