We can use the formula for the relationship between temperature and volume at constant pressure:

V₂ = V₁ × (T₂/T₁)

where V₁ and T₁ are the initial volume and temperature, and V₂ and T₂ are the final volume and temperature.

Plugging in the values:

V₂ = 2.52 L × (48.0°C/24.0°C) = 2.52 L × 2 = 5.04 L

Therefore, the new volume of the balloon is 5.04 L. The correct answer is B).
