A hot air balloon is primarily able to fly due to **B) convection**.
In a hot air balloon, the air inside the balloon is heated, which causes it to become less dense than the cooler air outside. This difference in density creates buoyancy, allowing the balloon to rise. Convection is the process whereby warmer, less dense air rises and cooler, denser air descends, which is the principle utilized in hot air ballooning.
