The warmer temperatures at Zeke's destination caused the volume of air in his tires to increase.

Answer: Option (1)

Explanation: The air pressure and the temperature is directly proportional to each other. This means that, higher the temperature, higher is the air pressure, and lesser the temperature, lesser is the air pressure.

According to the given condition, when Zeke travels from a colder climate to a comparatively warmer climate, the air molecules gets get heated up, and become active, as a result of which, the air pressure in the tyre increases by a certain amount.

Thus the correct answer is option (1).
