I apologize for the repetition in my response. Only the first three responses are correct. When the gallium melts in the person's hand, the gallium atoms will be moving faster on average, gain potential energy as they move freely from each other, and gain kinetic energy. However, the increase in temperature is not necessarily a guaranteed outcome. Temperature is a macroscopic measurement that depends on the average kinetic energy of all the particles in a substance. While the individual gallium atoms are gaining kinetic energy, it may not necessarily result in a significant increase in temperature.
