Solution

The correct option is B
False

It is false, the inter-particle force of attraction and the kinetic energy of the particles are related to each other and they primarily determine the physical state of any matter. It means, when the kinetic energy of these particles is more, the intermolecular force reduces, after some time these forces will get overcome, and the change of state takes place.
