Answer: Option A

Step-by-step explanation:

The higher the altitude, the colder is the climate. As the person moves towards higher altitude the temperature decreases.

As we know that the higher altitude has lower atmospheric pressure then the temperature also decreases.

This is the reason the temperature of the places like Himalayas have low temperature because of such elevation from the sea level.
