Solution

The correct options are
B Length of a metal rod.
C Density of a liquid.
D Pressure of a gas kept in a closed chamber.

Let us look at some real life examples.
(1) Density of water is seen to be 1 kg/m3 only at 40C. At 800C, it is seen to get reduced to 0.971 kg/m3.
(2) Length of the railway tracks increases on heating.
(3) If a car tyre is heated, it explodes at some point due to increase in its air pressure.

From the above observations we can imply that: the density, length and pressure directly depends on the temperature whereas mass does not change in any of the above cases.
