The correct option is B) Temperature decreases with altitude.

Explanation:

The temperature of the Earth decreases as we move a place. This is because these areas won't receive as much heat from the Earth as the areas which are present at elevated levels. Also, as we move up an elevated level, the air pressure decreases as the molecules of the air began moving further apart. A decrease in air pressure also causes a decrease in temperature. Hence, the correct option is B.
