The best statement that describes the experiment is:

The scientist is investigating Charles's Law, which shows that temperature and volume are directly proportional.

In Charles's Law, as the temperature of a gas increases, the volume also increases, provided the pressure remains constant. The observation of gas particles moving faster and the balloon expanding aligns with this principle.
