C is the correct answer, when the glass of a thermometer expands more than the liquid inside, the pressure inside the thermometer decreases. This causes the liquid to rise up in the stem. It's all about pressure and expansion. When the liquid expands, it takes up more space, so it has to rise up the stem.
