Answer 1

The correct statement is:

The scientist is investigating Charles's law, which shows that temperature and volume are directly proportional.

Charles's law states that as the temperature of a gas increases, its volume increases, assuming pressure remains constant. The observation of gas particles moving faster and the balloon expanding indicates an increase in temperature leading to an increase in volume.
