Answer: (B) Environmental lapse rate.

Step-by-step explanation:

The change in temperature of the air with the height in atmosphere is known as the environmental lapse rate. The environmental lapse rate of the Earth is the decline in temperature with increasing atmospheric altitude. In the atmosphere, the air molecule density basically affects the pressure of the air.

The air force on the surface of the Earth, it is one of the highest at the level of the sea and decreases steadily with the given altitude. The environmental lapse rate is the highly affected by the three main factors are as follows:

  • Condensation
  • Radiation
  • Convection

The change of air temperature with height is the environmental lapse rate. The correct option among all the options that are given in the question is the second option or option "B". It is a fact that heat can never leave or enter a system and all the changes of temperature take place internally. I hope it helps.
