Why can the temperature be relatively higher near the stratopause?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Ozone absorbs ultraviolet radiation in the upper stratosphere.
The governing concept is radiative heating in the stratosphere. The stratopause is the upper boundary of the stratosphere, where ozone in the upper stratosphere absorbs incoming ultraviolet radiation and converts part of that energy into heat. This absorption produces warming with height and contributes to a relatively high temperature near the boundary. Rain clouds, exospheric descent, and zero tropospheric pressure do not explain the effect, so A is correct.
