solids.

Answer:

It is (A.) Gases have the highest kinetic energy, followed by liquids, and then solids

Step-by-step explanation:

Gases have high kinetic energy because their particles are far apart from each other and have a negligible force of attraction, whereas Liquids have the high force of attraction as compared to gases so they have less kinetic energy than gases, and Solids have the high force of attraction between their particles because of that its molecules are closely packed, therefore

Gases have the highest kinetic energy,

Followed by Liquids,

Then finally, Solids with the lowest kinetic energy.
