A stable condition like temperature inversion in the atmosphere most closely resembles the nature of which layer?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Stratosphere
The governing concept is atmospheric stability caused by an inversion of the normal temperature gradient. In the stratosphere, temperature generally increases with height because ozone absorbs ultraviolet radiation, leaving warmer air above cooler air. This suppresses vertical convection, so option A is correct. The troposphere usually cools upward and is more actively mixed, while the mesosphere and exosphere are not the intended examples here.
