Options:
A .  Contracts
B .  Expands
C .  Moves down
D .  Movement ceases
Answer: Option B
:

Air expands on heating. Hot air molecules have more kinetic energy, so theyhavemore space between them than cool air molecules. Therefore, when we heat air, it expands to allow more space for the molecules. If air is cooled, it contracts because cool air molecules have less kinetic energy.
