Solution

The correct option is D Troposphere, Stratosphere, Mesosphere, Thermosphere
Earth's atmosphere can be divided into five main layers. Excluding the exosphere, Earth has four primary layers, which are the troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere, and thermosphere.

From highest to lowest, the five main layers are:
Exosphere: 700 to 10,000 km
Thermosphere: 80 to 700 km
Mesosphere: 50 to 80 km
Stratosphere: 12 to 50 km
Troposphere: 0 to 12 km

Option B is correct.
