Answer:

option d - "the gas is lighter than air"

Step-by-step explanation:

Based on the given experiment, the most likely conclusion is that the gas collected in the balloon is lighter than air, which causes the balloon to rise. Therefore, option d - "the gas is lighter than air" is the correct answer.

It is not possible to conclude whether the gas is poisonous, hydrogen, or hot because these properties cannot be determined solely from the given experiment. Additionally, it is not safe to assume that the collected gas will explode when touched with a match, as this would depend on the specific properties of the gas collected.
