A student notices that an inflated balloon gets larger when it is warmed by a lamp. Which best describes the mass of the balloon as a result of this change?
A The mass of the balloon increases because the size of the balloon has increased.
B The mass of the balloon increases because the temperature of the balloon has increased.
C The mass of the balloon stays the same because the gas inside the balloon still has the same mass after it warms up.
D The mass of the balloon stays the same because warming decreases the mass enough to cancel out the effect of increasing the size.
