The correct statement is:
The scientist is investigating Charles's law, which shows that temperature and volume are directly proportional.
Charles's law states that, at constant pressure, the volume of a gas is directly proportional to its temperature (in Kelvin). As the temperature of the gas inside the balloon increases, the gas particles move faster, causing the volume of the balloon to expand.
