Choose the correct alternative.

1. Acceleration due to gravity increases with increasing altitude.
2. Acceleration due to gravity remains unchanged with increasing altitude.
3. Acceleration due to gravity increases with increasing depth (assume the earth to be a sphere of uniform density).
4. Acceleration due to gravity decreases with increasing depth (assume the earth to be a sphere of uniform density).
