D
objects(with a temp of absolute zero)
molecular motion stop.
And it can’t be A because helium remains a liquid even past zero.
Even though water does freeze in absolute zero the best possible answer is D.

Answer:

D. The temperature at which all molecular motion is stopped.

Step-by-step explanation:

Absolute zero is the theoretical temperature at which all matter would have zero thermal energy and all molecular motion would stop. This temperature is equal to -273.15 degrees Celsius or -459.67 degrees Fahrenheit. It is the lowest possible temperature in the universe and cannot be reached in practice, as it is impossible to completely eliminate all thermal energy from matter.
