Answered by GPT-4o mini
The changes of state that result in a decrease in the kinetic energy of the particles involve transitioning from a gas to a liquid or solid, or from a liquid to a solid. This includes:

- **Deposition** (gas to solid)
- **Freezing** (liquid to solid)
- **Condensation** (gas to liquid)

Therefore, the correct answer is:

**D. deposition, freezing, condensation**.
