To decrease the movement of the particles in the apple, the best option would be:
**D. Put it in the refrigerator.**
Refrigeration lowers the temperature, which in turn reduces the kinetic energy of the particles, resulting in decreased movement. The other options would likely increase the energy and movement of the particles.
