According to the kinetic molecular theory of ideal gases, which of the following statements correctly describes the particles of a gas?

A) They experience strong intermolecular attractions that cause them to group together into stable clusters.

B) Collisions between particles are inelastic, resulting in a continuous loss of total kinetic energy over time.

C) The volume occupied by the individual gas particles makes up the majority of the total container volume.

D) The average kinetic energy of the particles is directly proportional to the absolute temperature of the gas.
