    Increasing the temperature of a reaction generally increases the reaction rate. Which aspect of collision theory best explains this observation?

    A

    Increased temperature reduces the activation energy of the reaction.

    B

    Increased temperature changes the orientation of the colliding molecules.

    C

    Increased temperature decreases the frequency of collisions between molecules.

    D

    Increased kinetic energy of molecules leads to more collisions exceeding the activation energy.
