Answer:

Option B

The molecules in thermometer spread apart

Explanation:

The mercury within the thermometer spread apart leading to an increase in temperature reading in the thermometer. The spreading apart of mercury molecules is caused by an increase in kinetic energy of molecules and with time the increase in kinetic energy decreases making the reading to stop increasing hence constant.
