Which option shows the correct effect of altitude?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Temperature decreases with altitude

The direct answer is A: temperature generally decreases as altitude increases. Altitude means height above sea level. Step by step, higher places are farther from the main warming surface of the Earth; air pressure is lower there, and rising air expands and cools. Therefore mountain tops are usually cooler than nearby lowlands, although local conditions can modify the exact value. A is correct. B is not a climatic effect: language may vary because of people and culture, not because altitude directly changes language. C is wrong because going higher does not bring the sea physically nearer. D is wrong because a rain gauge is an instrument; its design does not automatically change merely due to altitude, though rainfall may vary by location. Exam cue: altitude up, average temperature down.
