In which condition will the stratosphere be considered more stable than the troposphere?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: When temperature increases with height and convection is suppressed
A layer is stable when displaced air tends to return rather than continue rising. In the stratosphere, temperature commonly increases with height because ozone absorbs ultraviolet radiation. This inversion-like arrangement reduces buoyancy and suppresses convection, making the stratosphere more stable than the usually convective troposphere. Hence option A is correct; clouds, friction, or moisture alone do not define the comparison.
