Refer to the drawing of a water storage tank with a differential pressure (D/P) level detection system (see figure below).
Assume the initial temperature of the reference leg and the water in the tank is 100°F, and that reference leg temperature does not change.
If the temperature of the water in the tank increases by 20°F, the D/P sensed by the detector will __________ as long as the water __________ is maintained constant.
A. increase; level
B. decrease; level
C. increase; mass
D. decrease; mass
