Question

B.
Gas will flow into the balloon.

C.
The volume of the balloon will increase.

D.
The pressure inside the balloon will increase.

Answer 1

A. The volume of the balloon will decrease.

According to Charles's Law, which states that the volume of a gas is directly proportional to its temperature (when pressure is held constant), when the temperature outside is very cold, the gas inside the balloon will contract, resulting in a decrease in the volume of the balloon.
