The correct response is:

"The molecules of hot water have more kinetic energy than the molecules of cold water, so they will more easily break up grease and leftover food."

Hot water is effective at dissolving and removing grease and food residues because the increased kinetic energy of its molecules helps to break down these substances more effectively than cold water.
