Solution

The correct option is B increases
The volume occupied by a gas is inversely proportional to the pressure acting on it, i.e., if the pressure increases, the volume occupied by the gas decreases, and if the pressure acting on the gas reduces, the volume occupied by the gas increases. Hence the size of a rising air bubble grows as the pressure decreases.
