Solution

The correct option is B 217288 K
As the density of the gases in this layer decrease with height, the air becomes thinner. Therefore, the temperature in the troposphere also decreases with height in response. As one climbs higher, the temperature drops from an average around 288 K(15°C) to 217 K (-51°C) at the tropopause.
