(iii) Stratosphere
(iv) Troposphere
Answer: A → IV, B → II, C → I, D → I
Solution
The height of each entry fixes the atmospheric layer it belongs to. The troposphere reaches up to about km, so a height of km lies within it. The stratosphere spans roughly to km and the mesosphere about to km, so km falls in the mesosphere. The thermosphere extends from about km to several hundred kilometres, so both km and km lie in the thermosphere. Matching accordingly, km pairs with the troposphere, km with the mesosphere, and km and km both with the thermosphere.
