Solution

The correct option is A

2135


Explanation:

  • -60°Cto-15°C - This temperature range corresponds to the stratosphere. This layer extends up to 50 km from the surface of the earth.
  • 17to-51°C – This temperature range corresponds to the troposphere. This layer extends up to 20 km from the surface of the earth.
  • -15to-120°C - This temperature range corresponds to the mesosphere. This layer extends up to 8590 km from the surface of the earth.
  • Maximizing up to 2000°C - This temperature range corresponds to the thermosphere and ionosphere. This layer extends up to 690-950 km from the surface of the earth.

The correct sequence is 2135.

Hence, option (A) is the correct answer.
