Solution

The correct option is C decreases, increases
As you move away from the equator towards the poles, the earth's surface becomes more angled to the incoming sunlight due to the spherical shape of the earth. Because of this, the intensity of sunlight received decreases as we move from the equator to poles. Hence, temperature decreases as latitude increases.
