  1. A translational motion only
  2. B translational + rotational motion
  3. C translational + vibrational motion
  4. D translational \(+\) rotational \(+\) vibrational motion
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) translational motion only

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Argon is a monatomic gas, thus its molecules can move in any direction in space. Hence, it can have three independent motions (all translational). Therefore, argon possesses only translational motion.
