Terrance Morales · Answer 1

The true statement is C) The tar molecules in container B move rapidly with more energy as compared to those in container A.

This is based on the relation of the molecule motion, heat, and temperature. An increasing in temperature would increase the motion of the molecules inside a solid, liquid, or gas object.
