A. The volume of the balloon will decrease.

When a balloon is taken outside on a very cold day, the temperature of the gas inside the balloon decreases. According to Charles's Law, if the temperature of a gas decreases while keeping the pressure constant, the volume of the gas will also decrease. Therefore, the volume of the balloon will decrease in cold temperatures.
