detailed solution

Correct option is A

Kinetic energy per degree of freedom is  12KTAs diatomic gas posses two degree of freedom for rotational motion therefore rotational kinetic energy =  2.12KT=KTIn the problem both gases are diatomic and have same temperature. Therefore the average rotational kinetic energy will be equal to one.
