From a landing site at 8000 feet pressure altitude, how would you expect the rate of climb to be affected after take-off, as compared to sea level?

It will be Reduced because the Lower pressure makes the air less dense.

It will not be affected because the lower temperature cancels out the effects of lower pressure.

It will be higher because the lower pressure at altitude makes the air denser.

It will be higher because the lower temperature at altitude makes the air denser.
