Solution
The correct option is D Exosphere Exosphere is the outermost layer of the atmosphere and located above the thermosphere. Satellites commonly orbit in the thermosphere and the exosphere region. The troposphere is the starting layer of the earth, so Chandrayaan-2 started their journey from this layer and reached the exosphere.
