Above which boundary does temperature begin to rise again after decreasing through the mesosphere?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Mesopause
The governing concept is the temperature pattern across atmospheric layers. Temperature decreases upward through the mesosphere and reaches a minimum near the mesopause. Above this boundary, in the thermosphere, absorption of high-energy solar radiation causes temperature to rise again. Thus option C is correct. The tropopause and stratopause mark different layer boundaries, and lithopause is not an atmospheric boundary.
