Thank you

TheKaylaHope:

The air inside the car's tires contracts as the temperature drops in the winter.

TheKaylaHope:

This causes the tire pressure to decrease, which can cause issues like poor fuel economy, increased tire wear, and even flat tires.

TheKaylaHope:

Therefore, a car's tires need more air in the winter than they do in the summer to maintain optimal pressure. Hence, the correct option is B) The temperature is lower, so the air inside the tires contracts.
