There is a direct relationship between the kinetic energy and the temperature of a certain body which is expressed in the given equation below,
KE = 3kT/2
where KE is kinetic energy, k is proportionality constant, and T is the temperature in kelvin. Thus, increasin the temperature of a body, increases its average kinetic energy. The answer is letter A.
