I want to say A. Further Apart and move faster.
Solid particles move slowly because of limited room that is allowed.
And Liquid Particles move faster than Solids but not as fast as gas because liquid doesn't have as much room.

The answer is A. Further apart and move faster.

Conduction in general is the transfer of energy from molecule to molecule through DIRECT CONTACT. In solids and liquids, the molecules are closer to each other; more so in solids than liquids. This enables them to pass energy more quickly. Gas molecules on the other hand are further apart and move faster because they have space to move more freely. Energy does not easily pass on to the next molecule because of the distance between the molecules.
