To determine the correct way to arrange the altitudes of the four different cities in decreasing order, we need to compare their altitudes and list them from the highest to the lowest.

Given the altitudes:
- Snowvale: 13 feet
- Highbridge: 58 feet
- Westsilver: -51 feet
- Springmoor: -35 feet

Let's list these altitudes in decreasing order, starting from the highest value:
1. Highbridge: 58 feet
2. Snowvale: 13 feet
3. Springmoor: -35 feet
4. Westsilver: -51 feet

Therefore, the correct arrangement of the altitudes in decreasing order is:
[tex]\[ 58, 13, -35, -51 \][/tex]

Thus, the correct answer is:
A. [tex]\(58, 13, -35, -51\)[/tex]
