Solution

The correct option is A Temperature of beaker A is lower than beaker B
We know that gases expand on heating. This means that at higher temperature, gases occupy more volume.
Since the balloon in container B is inflated, we can say that the gas in beaker B occupies more volume than the gas in beaker A.
Hence, we can conclude that the temperature of beaker B is greater than that of beaker A.
