The correct option is D.

Nowadays, scientists classified substances into four states of matter, which are: solid, liquid, gases and plasma. Plasma are hot ionized gas that is made up of equal number of positively and negatively charged ions. The ions in the plasma have very high kinetic energy which allow them to move around at high speed. Plasma is typically produce by heating gases to very high temperature.
