A) increases
B) decreases
C) does not change
D) first decreases and then increases
Correct Answer: D
Solution :
Initially at start of heating from \[{{0}^{o}}C\] to \[{{4}^{o}}C\] there will be a contraction as a result of which volume decreases. On further heating beyond \[{{4}^{o}}C\] to \[{{10}^{o}}C\] the molecules gain kinetic energy and start moving more randomly. Thus, intermolecular distance increases as a result of which its volume increases.
