Solution
The correct option is C I and II only If there are more collisions between the molecules and the walls of the container, there must be more pressure against the walls. If there are more collisions, the molecules must have a higher average kinetic energy, and since kinetic energy is proportional to temperature, the temperature is also increasing.
