The correct answer is 'C'.

Explicación

## Step 1Charles's Law, named after Jacques Charles, states that the volume of a given amount of gas is directly proportional to its absolute temperature, provided the pressure remains constant. This means that if the temperature of the gas increases, the volume of the gas also increases, and vice versa.## Step 2Let's evaluate each option in light of Charles's Law:### A) Volume increases as temperature decreasesThis statement is incorrect according to Charles's Law. The law states that the volume of a gas increases with an increase in temperature, not a decrease.### B) Volume is constant as temperature increasesThis statement is also incorrect. Charles's Law states that the volume of a gas increases with an increase in temperature, not remains constant.### C) Volume increases as temperature increasesThis statement is correct according to Charles's Law. The law states that the volume of a gas increases with an increase in temperature, provided the pressure remains constant.### D) Volume decreases as temperature decreasesThis statement is incorrect according to Charles's Law. The law states that the volume of a gas increases with an increase in temperature, not decreases.
