The most likely answer is:
B. The balloon will expand because the particles move faster.
As the temperature increases in a hot car, the gas particles inside the balloon move faster, causing the balloon to expand. If the temperature rises too high, it could potentially lead to the balloon popping, but the initial effect is that it expands.
