Answer 1

The correct response is:

Heated gases will increase in kinetic energy and decrease in density.

When gases are heated, their molecules gain kinetic energy, which causes them to move faster and spread apart. This increased motion results in a decrease in density, allowing the heated gases to rise above cooler, denser air or gases.
