The answer is B. Molecules move more quickly as temperature increases.

When Allmond molecular motion stops, that is considered absolute zero. That does not mean that it cannot get colder, disapproving A.

C is just wrong.

D says when molecular motion stops the temperature STARTS to decrease, it was decreasing before it got there.
