Answer: B) Gravity

Explanation: a condenser decreases the pressure of the refrigerant, which then causes the temperature to decrease. And a refrigerant getting colder means that the air around will be getting warmer. In an air conditioner, the condenser expels hot air — air that has stolen its energy from the refrigerant.

I think it is the answer, I hope it helps
