Best answer
Answer: A. only kinetic energy
Answer: (a) only kinetic energy
In an ideal gas there are no intermolecular forces (except during collisions), so the molecules have no intermolecular potential energy. Their energy is entirely kinetic, which is why the internal energy of an ideal gas depends only on temperature.
