Solution

The correct option is A
solids

Solids: Because it is solid, molecules of solids are tightly packed with negligible intermolecular spaces and minimum kinetic energy.
The explanation for the Incorrect option -
Liquids, only water: The kinetic energy in liquids is greater than in solids but less than in gaseous molecules because of fewer intermolecular spaces between the molecules of liquids.
Gases: They have the maximum Kinetic energy as the molecules are far away from each other and have large intermolecular spaces.
Hence, the correct option is A.
