Why do the effects of intermolecular forces on a gas become significant at lower

Question

Why do the effects of intermolecular forces on a gas become significant at lower temperatures?

Why do the effects of intermolecular forces on a gas become significant at lower temperatures? Choose from the following:

At lower temperatures, the particles collide less frequently with the walls of the container and more frequently with each other. At lower temperatures, the particles have less average kinetic energy and can't break weak intermolecular attractions as easily. At low temperatures, the pressure decreases and the particles can't break weak intermolecular attractions as easily. At lower temperatures, the intermolecular forces result in a decrease in pressure

Explanation / Answer

At lower temperatures, the particles have less average kinetic energy and can't break weak intermolecular attractions as easily.
