Why does the density of solid substances change with an increase in temperature?

  • A
    Mass increases,volume remains constant.
  • B
    Mass remains constant,volume increases due to thermal expansion.
  • C
    Mass decreases,volume remains constant.
  • D
    Mass remains constant,volume decreases due to thermal contraction.
