Here are the options to the question:

A) The kinetic energy of gas particles will increase.

B) The kinetic energy of gas particles will decrease.

C) The kinetic energy of gas particles will remain unchanged.

D) The gas particles will have no kinetic energy.

E) The kinetic energy of gas particles will be transferred to the container.

The best answer is:

E. The kinetic energy of gas particles will be transferred to the container

At temperatures near Zero K that is −273.15 °C and −459.67 °F, nearly all molecular motion ceases and ΔS = 0 for any adiabatic process, where S is the entropy.
