Which of the following statements regarding thermal energy is correct?
A. All of the above
B. Three states of matter are the result of balance between intermolecular forces and the thermal energy of the molecules
C. Intermolecular forces tend to keep the molecules together but thermal energy of the molecules tends to keep them apart
