A. increased
When a balloon is placed in hot water, the air inside the balloon heats up. According to Gay-Lussac's Law and Charles's Law in gas behavior, when the temperature of a gas increases, its volume also increases, assuming the pressure is constant. Therefore, the volume of the balloon will increase when it is placed in hot water.
