A student tried to twist a metal lid off a glass jar without success. The student then placed the metal lid under hot running water and was able to remove the lid. Which best describes why the student was able to remove the lid?

• The molecules in the glass jar were heated and moved toward the lid.

• The molecules in the lid were heated and expanded away from the jar.

• The contents in the jar were heated and moved away from the top of the lid.

• The air surrounding the jar was heated and moved away from the sides of the jar.
