Answer:

B. how fast the particles are moving

Step-by-step explanation:

Temperature measures the average kinetic energy of system as result of the thermal - heat energy present in the reaction or a body.

Often times, temperature is the degree of hotness or coldness of a body and this translates to an increase or decrease in the molecular speed.

  • Number of particles in a body is the mass of the body.
  • How tightly packed the particles are corresponds to the density of the body.
