Which option correctly matches an atmospheric layer with its temperature trend?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: In the mesosphere, temperature decreases with increasing height.
The governing concept is the vertical temperature pattern of the atmosphere. In the mesosphere, temperature generally decreases as altitude increases, reaching a minimum near the mesopause. By contrast, ozone absorption causes temperature to rise through much of the stratosphere, while the thermosphere also warms with altitude. The troposphere usually cools upward, so option A is correct; the words “always” also make B and D incorrect.
