the degrees of freedom of a molecule of a triatomic gas are

The degrees of freedom of a molecule of a triatomic gas are

A. 2

B. 4

C. 6

D. 8

Answer : 6

Solution :
The molecule of a triatomic gas has a tendency of rotating about any of three coordinate axes. So, it has 6 degrees of freedom, 3 translational and 3 rotational. At high enough temperature a triatomic molecule has 2 vibrational degree of freedom. But as temperature requirement is not given, so we answer simply by assuming triatomic gas molecule at room temperature.
Thus, $$f = 6$$
