Answer: Option (d) is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

When heat is removed from water then there will be decrease in the kinetic energy of water particles. This is because on removing the heat, collisions between the particles will decrease as a result the energy will decrease. Thus, particles will stop moving randomly from one place to another.

Therefore, kinetic energy of the water particles decreases.
