Sagot :

Answer: B

Explanation:

As you go up in elevation, the amount of “air” pressing down on you lessens. Think of standing at the base of a mountain in an invisible tube. The tube is filled with “air” pressing down on you. Now imagine that you are in that same tube but at the top of the mountain. The “air” in the tube above you is less, meaning less pressure pushing down on you.
