Solution

The correct option is A
With rise in temperature, the solubility of a solid increases

For many solids that are dissolved in water or any liquid, the solubility increases with rise in temperature. Kinetic energy also increases with temperature. With increase in kinetic energy, the solvent molecules effectively break apart the solute molecules that are held together by strong intermolecular attractions and thereby solubility is increased.
