A. Expands

B. Contracts

C. It expands or contracts according to its diameter

D. It expands or contracts according to its coefficient of expansion

Answer: Option A

Solution(By Examveda Team)

The hole size will increase because in expansion the size between two molecules do not increase so when the molecules on the outer edge move outward. Due to expansion, the size of the hole will also increase so as to compensate the distance change between the molecules.
