The troposphere is the lowest layer and extends from the surface up to about 8-15 kilometers. The stratosphere is the layer above the troposphere and extends from about 15-50 kilometers. The thermosphere is the layer above the stratosphere and extends from about 80 kilometers to the edge of space. The exosphere is the outermost layer and merges with space. Therefore, the proper order is troposphere, stratosphere, thermosphere, exosphere. Choice B is the only option that correctly orders the layers in this manner.
