Which quantity does the barometric formula predict?
Answer: A
Integrating the hydrostatic equation with an assumed temperature profile gives pressure as a function of height, which is the barometric formula. The isothermal case gives an exponential and a constant lapse rate gives a power law. Altimeters are calibrated using the constant lapse rate form of the standard atmosphere.
