Answer:

Solid state

Step-by-step explanation:

Kinetic energy is the energy associated with the motion, in a solid particles are close together so they don't move much, inside a solid the electrons of the atoms vibrate constantly but they are fixed in their position because of how the structure of the atoms behaves in this state. In conclusion, the solid-state has some kinetic energy associated with the vibration of electrons but this energy is much smaller than in liquids or gases.
