@Rahul.

Expand means - increase in all directions.
Shrink means - reduce in all directions.
Stretch means - increase linearly or in unidirectional or bidirectional but not in all directions.

The correct answer is (C) Expand.

Rahul said:   5 years ago
In my point of view,

SHRINK means: To become smaller permanently.
EXPAND means: To extend something permanently.
STRETCH means: To extend something temporarily & then after sometime it gets back its own shape.
