At 0K temperature we know that there is no molecular motion, that is the KE of the particles gets 0. Thus we can say the combined KE of a gaseous system is zero, but as there combined mass cant be zero thus the combined of the square of velocities of the particles is zero, which means that the root mean square velocity of the gas is zero.

Explanation:
Absolute Zero:
Absolute zero is the lowest possible temperature that can be reached, at which the particles of matter have the least amount of energy, or zero thermal energy. It is the temperature at which the entropy of a pure, perfect crystalline solid is zero, and at which all thermal motion ceases.
Root mean square velocity of molecules:
The root mean square velocity of gas molecules is defined as the square root of the average of the squares of the velocities of individual molecules of gas. It is denoted by vrms. The velocity of individual gas molecules depends on the temperature of the gas. At higher temperatures, the velocity of gas molecules is high, and at lower temperatures, the velocity of gas molecules is low.
Relation between temperature and root mean square velocity:
The relation between temperature and root mean square velocity is given by the equation- vrms = √(3kT/m), where k is the Boltzmann constant, T is the temperature in Kelvin, and m is the mass of the molecule.
Answer:
The correct answer is option 'B', Root mean square velocity of the gas molecule reduces to zero. At absolute zero temperature, the particles of matter have the least amount of energy, or zero thermal energy. As a result, the velocity of gas molecules becomes zero, which means the root mean square velocity of the gas molecules reduces to zero. At absolute zero temperature, the particles of matter come to rest, and all thermal motion ceases.
It is important to note that at absolute zero temperature, the volume of the gas also becomes zero, and the mass of molecules of gas does not become zero, as stated in option 'D'. Option 'C' is also incorrect as the temperature at absolute zero is not 273 K.
