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.
