Using kinetic-molecular theory, each explanation below can be used to help explain why a tire blowout is more likely to happen on a trip in the summer than in the winter, EXCEPT A Temperatures are higher in the summer than in the winter and friction during driving heats up even more. B At higher temperatures, gas particles inside the tire have a greater average kinetic energy. C The higher temperatures cause melting of the rubber and therefore decreased tire pressure. D The frequency and the force of the collisions between gas particles and the walls of the tire are greater, resulting in a greater pressure inside the tire
