Bincrease
Cremain the same
Dnone of the above
AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) increase. As the temperature of a fuel oil stored in a tank rises, the volume of the fuel oil will increase. This is due to the thermal expansion property of liquids, where an increase in temperature causes the molecules in the liquid to move further apart, resulting in an increase in the overall volume of the liquid. The other answer choices are incorrect because: A) the volume would increase, not decrease, as the temperature rises; C) the volume would not remain the same, as it is affected by temperature changes; and D) one of the previous options is correct.
