ans: D all the above

Explanation: Increase in temperature causes increase in kinetic energy, so statement A would be correct (water molecules move entropically or, randomly). Logically, statement B would also be correct (faster random movements lead to more collisions). Likewise for statement C (think people running into each other vs cars running into each other, different speeds). So you're looking at D as the right answer.
