Suppose Your Car Is Equipped with Tire Pressure Monitoring System

Suppose your car is equipped with tire pressure monitoring system TPMS) and the tire pressure is 34.0 psi on a 98 °F day in California. You decided to take a road trip to Alaska where the temperature drops to 20 °F. As you arrived in Alaska, you noticed that the tire pressure monitoring system alert light is illuminated. Why did this happen?

A) as temperature decreases, gas molecules lose kinetic energy and the volume of gas is reduced thus reducing the overall pressure in the tire which results in the TPMS to become activated
B) as temperature decreases, gas molecules gain kinetic energy and the volume of gas is reduced thus reducing the overall pressure in the tire which results in the TPMS to become activated
C) as temperature decreases, gas molecules lose kinetic energy and the volume of gas increases thus reducing the overall pressure in the tire which results in the TPMS to become activated
