What is the most suitable reason for temperature increase with height in the stratosphere?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Absorption of ultraviolet radiation by ozone
The governing concept is differential heating of atmospheric layers. In the stratosphere, ozone absorbs incoming ultraviolet radiation and converts much of that energy into heat, so temperature generally rises with altitude. This makes option C correct. Clouds and substantial water vapour are mainly associated with the troposphere, while dust blocking light does not explain the characteristic stratospheric temperature pattern.
