Explanation:
Moving atoms or molecules from a region of higher concentration to one of lower concentration is what causes diffusion.
The kinetic energy of matter increases with temperature, causing more matter to mix together.
Due to this increase in kinetic energy, the movement of the particles increases, which increases the rate of diffusion.
Therefore, as temperature increases, the rate of diffusion increases.Hence, option (A) is correct
