What is the deBroglie wavelength of neutron at 0K?

Kinetic energy is given by the formula 3/2KT (I'm not sure if this info is of any help or not).

a. 1.5 A

b. 2 A

c. 0 A

d. 273 A

Update:

But I asked what the WAVELENGTH is NOT the KE!!! Don't you read the question?

OK, if KE is 0, then according to formula, is the wavelength infinity then? I am sure that can never be correct.

    KE of a gas is given by 3/2KT and not that of particles. The KE of neutron at 0K will be 0 as in that state it will be motion less.
