A rigid, sealed \(1.0 \text{ L}\) container holds a mixture of helium, \(\text{He(g)}\), and argon, \(\text{Ar(g)}\), at thermal equilibrium at \(300 \text{ K}\). A particulate representation of the mixture inside the container is shown in the diagram.

Which of the following statements correctly compares the average kinetic energy of the gas atoms and explains the relative partial pressures of \(\text{He(g)}\) and \(\text{Ar(g)}\) in the container?
