Answer:

The answer is B

Explanation:

The answer to this question is based on the molecular kinetic theory. The more you diminish the temperature, the slower the kinetic energy of molecules (i.e their movement) will be. Therefore, if the particles aren't allowed to move freely, they'll package themselves and the mean distance between two particles will be fixed and the shortest you'd be able to find.
