Suppose you were to fill a balloon with air then let go of it without tying it closed. What causes the balloon to fly away?

The air around the balloon is under higher pressure, so it pulls the balloon forward

The warm air from your breath is less dense than the cooler air around the balloon, and warm air always rises

The balloon’s movement is the reaction to the force of air escaping
