Answer:
A) Its density will decrease
Explanation:
When an object is heated, its volume increases. This is due to the fact that the particles in the medium vibrate more (if it is a solid) or they move more (if it is a liquid or a gas), therefore they tend to occupy a larger space.
At the same time, the mass of the object does not change, because the mass just represents the amount of matter contained in the object, so it does not increase/decrease at different temperatures.
The density of an object is defined as the ratio between the mass (m) and the volume (V):
We said that the mass remains unchanged while the volume increases: since the density is inversely proportional to the volume, this means that the density decreases.
