$A$ spring balance is graduated at sea level. If a body is weighed with this balance at consecutively increasing heights from the Earth's surface,the weight indicated by the balance:

  • A
    Will go on increasing continuously
  • B
    Will go on decreasing continuously
  • C
    Will remain same
  • D
    Will first increase and then decrease
