When a soap bubble is charged, it will experience a change in size. The correct option would be:

B.) It Expands

When a soap bubble is charged, the electric charge affects the distribution of charges on the surface of the bubble. Like charges repel each other, so when the bubble is charged, the like charges on the surface of the bubble repel each other, causing the bubble to expand. This expansion occurs as the repulsive forces between the charges push the surface of the bubble outward.
