Solution

The correct option is B ${6.5}^{0}$ C/km
Troposphere is the lowest layer in the earth's atmosphere. it is the same layer in which all the change in weather takes place. Lapse rate is the rate at which the temperature drops due to the difference in elevation. the more the altitude the more the drop in temperature is there. The lapse rate of $6.5$ is there for the level of $0$ to $11, 000$ m. This is the region in which troposphere lies.
So, the correct answer is ' ${6.5}^{o} C$ $/ K m$ . '
