Solution

The correct option is B Middle atmosphere

  • The stratosphere and mesosphere together are sometimes referred to as middle atmosphere.
  • The layer present between stratosphere and thermosphere is mesosphere. Height of mesosphere layer is 80-85 kms. In the mesosphere, temperature decreases as the altitude increases. The upper boundary of the mesosphere is the mesopause, which is the coldest naturally occurring place on Earth.
  • Ozonosphere is also called as stratosphere which consists of ozone gases that prevents UV rays from entering the earth’s surface.
