The correct answer for the question above is  first second statement. The airpressure in that section of earth’s atmosphere decreased.  When the density of gas particles in a section of earth’s atmosphere decreases, the  airpressure in that section of earth’s atmosphere decreased. It is because pressure is directly proportional to density.
