Solution
The correct option is B Due to high pressure on the wall of balloons caused by air inside the balloon. The pressure inside the balloon is more than that of atmospheric pressure and it increases when we inflate a balloon. Balloon bursts when the pressure inside the balloon becomes higher than its wall capacity to hold.
