6 points
when we launch a radiosonde (i.e., weather balloon), the temperature measured is called the __________ lapse rate.
a stable
b environmental
c dry adiabatic
d moist adiabatic

Explanation:

When a radiosonde is launched, the measured temperature - lapse rate represents the actual change of temperature with height in the atmosphere, which is called the environmental lapse rate. Stable is a condition related to air stability, dry adiabatic and moist adiabatic are theoretical lapse - rate models under different moisture conditions.

Answer:

B. Environmental
