The correct answer is option D, 10

A dry air parcel cool (temperature decrease with rise in altitude) at the rate of 10 degree celcius per 1000 meter of vertical rise While a wet air parcel cools at the rate of 5 degree celcius per 1000 meter of vertical rise because the water in it, releases heat while condensing thereby delaying the process of cooling.
