If a question asks about separation of gases by molecular weight at height, which region will you choose?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Heterosphere
The governing concept is the distinction between the homosphere and heterosphere. At great heights, collisions between particles become infrequent, allowing gases to become distributed more according to molecular mass; this region is called the heterosphere. Hence option A is correct. The tropospheric boundary layer concerns surface turbulence, monsoon troposphere concerns weather, and stratospheric clouds do not define molecular-weight separation.
