If a saturated air mass descends down a slope its temperature increases at:

the same rate as if the air mass were dry.
a lower rate than in dry air, as evaporation absorbs heat.
a lower rate than in dry air, as condensation gives out heat.
a higher rate than in dry air, as it gives up latent evaporation heat.
