Solution

The correct option is A True
Particles of the matter have spaces between them.
These particles have forces acting between them that keeps the particles together.
On heating, particles in the matter gain energy and overcome the interparticle force of attraction. This results in an increase in the motion and hence an increase in interparticle space.

Hence, an increase in the temperature of a substance results in an increase in the space between the particles.
