For an N-atom nonlinear polyatomic gas, the constant volume molar heat capacity $\mathrm{C}_{\mathrm{v}, \mathrm{m}}$ has the expected value of $3(\mathrm{N}-1) \mathrm{R}$, based on the principle of equipartition of energy. The correct statement(s) about the measured value of $\mathrm{C}_{\mathrm{v}, \mathrm{m}}$ is/are
(a)The measured $\mathrm{C}_{\mathrm{v}, \mathrm{m}}$ is independent of temperature.
(b)The measured $\mathrm{C}_{\mathrm{v,m}}$ is dependent on temperature.
(d)The measured $\mathrm{C}_{\mathrm{vm}}$ is typically higher than the expected value.
