Answer:

A. Has a faster-moving molecules than the same cup of iced tea.

Step-by-step explanation:

The keyword hear is hot. Immediately, we can conclude that it has more energy than a cup of iced tea. Heat is a form of energy. This type of energy is given to the molecules in the hot cup of tea which makes them really excited. When they're excited, they have many more collisions and thus move much faster. Although the molecules in a cup of iced tea are still moving, their energy is greatly reduced than that of a cup of hot tea (which has energy being added to it through the form of heat).
