In troposphere (the weather domain), the temperature 't' at height 'h' above the sea level in metres is given by (where, temperature at sea level is 15°C and t is in °C.)

                In the troposphere, the variation of temperature with altitude is given by the equation 
T = T0 " λ h.
Where T0 is the sea level temperature, T is the temperature at the altitude h and λ is the temperature lapse rate in the troposphere.
λ = 0.0065 K/m in the troposphere.
                T = T0 " λ h.
Where T0 is the sea level temperature, T is the temperature at the altitude h and λ is the temperature lapse rate in the troposphere.
λ = 0.0065 K/m in the troposphere.

                @Abhishek Kumar 
You say temperature lapse rate in troposphere is 0.0065.
 
K/m, here its unit in K( kelvin ) and in question unit is in C (Celcius).

                It was not in k/m, it was c/km.
So, it was converted to metre. That's why we get it as 0.0065 celsius/metre.

                On which basis, we can decide between Option-A and Option-D?
How is the height factor decided?

                In troposphere according to lapse rate as increase in altitude of 1km 6.5 c temp decreases.

                With the increase in height from the sea level in troposphere, the temperature decreases.

                I think it's based on lapse rate, 6.5 degree c per 1 km.
