Solution

The correct option is B stay upright
When a candle is tilted, the flame will still stay upright and point upwards.The candle wax burns to fuel the candle, the gases that are released are less denser and hotter than the air around the flame. Hence as these gases rise up, the denser cold surrounding air will come down to replace it.
