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 when the temperature of a gas increases, its volume also increases, provided the pressure remains constant. In this scenario, as the gas particles in the balloon move faster due to increased temperature, the balloon expands, which is consistent with Charles's Law.
