The state of matter with the highest temperature will be the one with highest kinetic energy in it molecules. So the gaseous state is the one with highest kinetic energy in the molecules of a body. The molecules in a gas have a higher average kinetic energy than those in a liquid or solid at the same temperature.
Hence option A is correct answer.
