Correct Answer

B

Explanation

The processes that can be explained using the kinetic theory are I. Change of state and II. Diffusion. The kinetic theory of matter states that particles in a substance are constantly in motion and have kinetic energy. This theory can explain how particles in a substance change their state (such as from solid to liquid or gas) by gaining or losing energy, as well as how particles diffuse or spread out from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration. On the other hand, III. Radiation and IV. Osmosis are not directly explained by the kinetic theory. Radiation involves the emission of electromagnetic waves or particles, while osmosis is the movement of solvent molecules through a semipermeable membrane.
