The Eiffel Tower (option D) does expand in summer due to thermal expansion - metal structures expand when heated. The claimed 6-inch expansion is plausible for such a tall iron structure (330 meters) exposed to significant temperature variations between winter and summer in Paris. The other options (Pisa Tower, Statue of Liberty, Taj Mahal) are either stone structures or not significantly affected by seasonal expansion in the same way as iron.
