Solution

The correct option is A Directly proportional to rise in the temperature
When heat is applied to a body, the rate of vibration and the distances between the molecules composing it are increased and, hence, the space occupied by the body, i.e., its volume, increases.

So, expansion in a substance is directly proportional to rise in the temperature.

Hence, option A is correct.
