Solution

The correct option is B True
Given statement is true.
Solids expand the least and gases expand the most on being heated.

The greater the attraction between the molecules, the smaller the expansion will be. Solids expand the least and gases expand the most when heated because intermolecular attraction is greatest in solids and least in gases.
