Solution

The correct option is B The $K E$ depends upon the pressure of gas
The relation of K.E. and temperature is-
$K E \propto \sqrt{T}$
According to the kinetic theory of gases, intermolecular collisions are elastic in nature and pressure of the gas is the force acting per unit cross-sectional area of the wall. The KE doesn't depend upon the pressure of gas
