Answer:
D. The average kinetic energy of the gas particles is greater in container B because its particles move faster.
Explanation:
Option D is the correct statement. From the excerpt, it can be seen that container B is being heated. The heat that is applied to container B will make the temperature of the gas to increase, thereby increasing the average kinetic energy. This will cause the gas molecules to mover faster and with force hitting the walls of the gas container. At this time, pressure should increase. Also, the volume of the gas increases just as the temperature of the gas also increases.
