The correct answer is:
D. The tire expands because the volume of air inside the tire increases.
As the temperature of the air inside the tire increases, according to the ideal gas law, the volume of the air will tend to increase if the tire is flexible and can expand. This is why the tire expands as the air inside heats up.
