Answer:

Option B:the kinetic energies of the particles

Step-by-step explanation:

Temperature is simply defined as a measure of the average amount of kinetic energy that is possessed by the particles in a sample.

Now, the more the particles experience vibration, translation and rotation, the higher the temperature of the object and vise versa.

Thus, the amount of heat energy depends on the kinetic energies of the particles
