  • A
    Increases.
  • Decreases.
  • C
    Increases and then decreases.
  • D
    Decreases and then increases.

Correct option: B.
Decreases.
The temperature of the troposphere generally decreases as altitude increases.
The rate at which the temperature decreases is called the environmental lapse rate $\text{(ELR)}.$
