Solution:
The root mean square (rms) velocity of a gas is given by:
\[
v_{\text{rms}} = \sqrt{\frac{3RT}{M}}
\]
where \( M \) is the molar mass. Since all gases are at the same temperature, the gas with the smallest molar mass will have the highest \( v_{\text{rms}} \).
Hydrogen has the smallest molar mass among the options, so it has the maximum rms velocity.
