$\alpha, v$ and $u$ represent the most probable velocity, average velocity, and root mean square velocity, respectively, of a gas at a particular temperature. The correct order among the following is:

  • A
    $u > v > \alpha$
  • B
    $v > u > \alpha$
  • C
    $\alpha > u > v$
  • D
    $u > \alpha > v$
