The correct solution would be B. The volume of the gas increases as a result of the increase in temperature. The particles, the atoms of the gaseous element are moving faster due to the increase in temperature and as a result have an increase in kinetic energy, and upon colliding with each other and the surrounding container, the volume is increased.
