Solution

The correct option is A oxygen
The density of the atmosphere varies with height, i.e., it is maximum at the sea level and decreases as we go up. At very large heights, the oxygen content of the air is low and mountaineers face difficulty in breathing. Hence, they carry oxygen cylinders with them to breathe at high altitudes.
