Solution

The correct option is C
Decreases the density of a material

Solids, liquids and gases all expand on being heated.
We know, $d e n s i t y = \frac{m a s s}{v o l u m e}$ .
On heating, the material expands and thus it's volume increases. Increase in volume decreases the density of the material.
Therefore, expansion during heating decreases the density of the material.
