Solution

The correct option is C troposphere
The temperature decreases with the altitude (height) in the lowest 10-20km of the atmosphere called the Troposphere because most of the solar radiation passes through the atmosphere with little or no effect. That radiation is observed by the solid earth surface and is transferred to the air above the surface by conduction.
