  • A
    Its molecules move faster
  • B
    Its molecules move closer together
  • C
    The movement of its molecules decreases
  • D
    The temperature decreases although heat is added
✓

Answer

  1. Its molecules move faster

Explanation:

Solid-state has the least intermolecular space and most packed structure.

On heating of a solid, the intermolecular forces decrease, space between the molecules increases.

The particles gain energy and there is an increase in kinetic energy and the molecules move faster.
