Solution

The correct option is B Decrease
If there were no atmosphere around the earth, the temperature will decrease.
Earth's atmosphere traps heat from sun and keeps it near to the surface of earth, popularly known as green house effect. It keeps warming the planet and sustaining life on earth. If there were no atmosphere, average temperature drops below zero.
So, we can say that it will decrease.
