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, at constant pressure, the volume of a gas is directly proportional to its absolute temperature (in Kelvin). As the temperature of the gas inside the balloon increases, the gas particles move faster, leading to an increase in volume.
