Giving Brainliest! In the troposphere, as altitude increases, air temperature drops at a relatively uniform rate. At the top of the troposphere, an average height of 11 km, the average temperature is −56.5°C. At the base of the troposphere, 0 km, the average temperature is 15°C.

In a linear model of this situation, which of the following statements applies?

A.
An increase of 1 km in altitude corresponds to a increase of 6.5°C in temperature.
B.
An increase of 1 km in altitude corresponds to a decrease of 3.8°C in temperature.
C.
An increase of 1 km in altitude corresponds to a decrease of 6.5°C in temperature.
D.
An increase of 1 km in altitude corresponds to a increase of 3.8°C in temperature.
