As altitude increases, temperature decreases and this is the relationship between temperature and altitude in the stratosphere. The correct option among all the options that are given in the question is the second option. Basically this can be easily understood if we check the temperature at the peak of Mount Everest.

Answer:

As altitude increases, temperature increases.

Explanation:

  • As the air temperature and pressure all depends on the atmospheric gases in the environment and thus similar the increase if the height above the mean sea levels tell us of the rise and fall in the temperatures as the layer of the air becomes rarified as we go up higher in the air and hence thus the troposphere has a temperature inversion and remain till the tropopause.
  • But there is a rise in the temperatures again at the outer limits of the stratosphere the temperature slowly begins to rise as it reaches to exosphere and the stratospheric ozone gas get heated up by the impact of the sun's rays.
