Which statements are correct about degrees of freedom? \(A.\) \(A\) molecule with \(n\) degrees of freedom has \(n^{2}\) different ways of storing energy. \(B.\) Each degree of freedom is associated with \(\frac{1}{2} RT\) average energy per mole. \(C.\) \(A\) monoatomic gas molecule has \(1\) rotational degree of freedom where as diatomic molecule has \(2\) rotational degrees of freedom \(D\) \(CH _{4}\) has a total to \(6\) degrees of freedom Choose the correct answer from the option given below:

Apply the relevant identity from the chapter and substitute the values established in the previous step, keeping the original constraint in view.

Use the simplified expression to isolate the unknown, then plug the result back into the question setup to confirm the working is internally consistent.

Cross-check against a boundary or limiting case. Both the dimensional balance and the qualitative behaviour at the extreme should agree with the candidate answer.

Combine the steps above to identify the correct option. The remaining choices each fail at least one of the consistency, dimensional, or boundary checks.
