Which mechanism reduces overall molecular diffusion when temperature decreases?

💡 Explanation

Reduced temperature decreases the average available kinetic energy via decreased molecular motion, because diffusion requires molecules to overcome their activation energy. Therefore lower temperature reduces kinetic energy rather than increasing attractive forces, because these have secondary importance for diffusion rates at normal-range temperatures.
