b. the volume of the balloon will become lower than 200 mL

As the temperature of the balloon increases, the air molecules inside the balloon will gain kinetic energy and move faster, causing them to push against the walls of the balloon with more force. This increase in pressure will cause the balloon to decrease in volume.
