To find out how much the temperature needs to change to return to the initial temperature of 63°F, we'll calculate the final temperature after the drops and rises:

1. Start with the initial temperature: **63°F**
2. The temperature drops by 10°F:
\[ 63°F - 10°F = 53°F \]
3. The temperature then rises by 6°F:
\[ 53°F + 6°F = 59°F \]

Now, the final temperature is 59°F. To return to the initial temperature of 63°F, we need to calculate how much to rise from 59°F:

\[ 63°F - 59°F = 4°F \]

Thus, the temperature needs to **rise 4°F** to return to the initial temperature of 63°F.

The correct response is: **Rise 4 °F**.
