Answer : 4. "increases with increase of temperature"
Explanation :

Answer: D) increases with increase of temperature Explanation: Kinetic Energy K.E = 12mV2  or  K.E ∝V2, Where 'm' is the mass and 'v' is the velocity of molecules.   Velocity is proportional to temperature. Hence, KE is proportional to temperature and would increase with temperature.
