Solution

The correct option is A
more than the apparent expansion.

If a liquid is heated without any container, then the expansion we observe is called real expansion. The expansion of liquid observed without considering expansion of container is called apparent expansion. Real expansion of a liquid is always greater than its apparent expansion.
