The answer is: B the elevation increases.

The state of Texas consists of four main regions: Gulf Coastal Plains, Interior Lowlands, Great Plains, and Basin and Range Province. As a result, travelling from east to west in Texas, one can see first the plains and lowlands in the centre and south next to the Gulf of Mexico. Towards the west, the landscape turns into mountains and basins in the Basin and Range Province.
