The correct response is:

The particles will have more space between them and will be moving at higher speeds as steam.

At 100°C, water exists in its liquid state while steam is the gaseous state of water. In the gaseous state (steam), the particles are further apart and have higher kinetic energy, resulting in faster movement compared to particles in the liquid state.
