The graph showing the relationship between temperature and kinetic energy for one phase of matter (such as a solid, liquid, or gas) would typically be represented as **C: a diagonal line**.
As temperature increases, the average kinetic energy of the particles in that phase also increases. This linear relationship is especially clear for gases, while the relationship can still generally be represented as increasing for liquids and solids, although the rate of increase may vary depending on the substance and its phase.
Thus, option **C (a diagonal line)** would be the correct choice.
