What you are looking at is essentially an adiabatic expansion of the air as the pressure goes down (It does not gain or lose heat.) In an adiabatic expansion the temp goes down.

For FCA, its A
If you're looking at the question asking about what happens to air when altitude increases in the troposphere, the answer is A.
It depends if the answer Letters change then it's " They move farther apart from each other. "
Wheres all da answers :,>
1) They move farther apart from each other.
2) nitrogen
3) infiltration, evaporation, and precipitation
4) ozone layer
5) oil
6) global warming
7) raising cattle | methane
burning trees | carbon dioxide
filling landfills | methane
8) Nitrogen-based fertilizers can release nitrous oxide into the atmosphere.
9) It keeps it from becoming too warm
10) Ocean circulation would slow down throughout the world.
