The Correct Option is A

Approach Solution - 1

The correct option is: (A) proportional to absolute temperature
Basic Theory
Translational K.E on average of a molecule is \(\frac{3}{2}KT\) which is independent of nature, pressure and volume

Kinetic energy

Kinetic energy of an object is the measure of the work it does as a result of its motion. Kinetic energy is the type of energy that an object or particle has as a result of its movement. When an object is subjected to a net force, it accelerates and gains kinetic energy as a result. Kinetic energy is a property of a moving object or particle defined by both its mass and its velocity. Any combination of motions is possible, including translation (moving along a route from one spot to another), rotation around an axis, vibration, and any combination of motions.
