Correct Answer: Increases


Solution : The correct option is to increase .

The round hole in the centre of a metal plate enlarges when the plate is heated. The following causes account for this:
The molecules along the rim of the hole and all the other component molecules vibrate more when the metal plate is heated. The metal plate expands as a result of the molecules along the rim of the hole.
