HELLP PLS ILL GIVE 2 BRAINLIESTS, 5 STARS, AND THANKS, AND 50 POINTS Accoring to the data table, Molly observed rust on the sample of iron filing and dries the sample thoroughly. She then finds the mass of the entire sample and finds it has more mass than the 188g of the original sample. As the rusted iron filing occurred in an open system, which of the following best explains the increase in mass?

Select one:
A. The sample gained mass because rust is a different color than the iron fillings, and the different color rust has more mass that the original iron fillings.
B. The sample gained mass because the iron fillings combined with oxygen in a chemical reaction, thus making the final rusted sample to have more mass.
C. Molly made a procedure mistake when measuring the mass of the entire sample. She should remeausre her sample.
D. The sample gained mass because rust is a physical change and the color change causes the mass to be more than the original sample.
