Solution

The correct option is B

False


Atmospheric pressure decreases with increasing height from the sea level.

The pressure at any level in the atmosphere may be interpreted as the total weight of the air above a unit area at any elevation. At higher elevations, there are fewer air molecules above a given surface than a similar surface at lower levels.
