99pts!!! Which of the following best explains what happens when the kinetic energy of particles in a gas state decreases?

They vibrate so quickly that the particles ionize and become plasma.
They vibrate so slowly that the particles are no longer held together, resulting in a plasma.
They move fast enough to overcome the forces of attraction holding them together and become a liquid.
They move more slowly, causing the forces of attraction holding them together to increase, resulting in a liquid.
