The Correct Option is D

Solution and Explanation

Step 1: rms relation.
\[ v \propto \sqrt{T} \Rightarrow T_2 = 4T_1 \]

Step 2: Temperature change.
\[ T_1 = 300K,\quad T_2 = 1200K \]

Step 3: Heat formula.
\[ Q = nC_V\Delta T \]

Step 4: Substitute.
\[ Q = 2 \times \frac{3}{2}R \times 900 \]

Step 5: Compute.
\[ Q = 22410 J \]

Step 6: Final answer.
\[ \boxed{22.4 kJ} \]
