Solution

The correct option is C 13 km

Troposphere is the lower most layer of the earth. It extends from earth’s surface and goes up to a height of 12 km. But its height varies from place to place and from season to season. Almost all weather phenomenon occur in this layer. Air is warmest at the bottom of the troposphere near ground level. But there is a decrease of temperature with increasing height.
