Solution

The correct option is D Trophosphere
The troposphere is the lowest layer of Earth's atmosphere and site of all weather on Earth. The troposphere is bonded on the top by a layer of air called as the tropopause, which separates the troposphere from the stratosphere, and on bottom by the surface of the Earth. It contains approximately 75% of the atmosphere's mass and 99% of its water vapour and aerosols. The average depth of the troposphere is approximately 17 km in the middle latitudes.
