Quizplus · Accepted Answer

As you ascend from the Earth's surface into the stratosphere, the temperature initially decreases with altitude in the troposphere. However, in the stratosphere, the presence of the ozone layer absorbs ultraviolet radiation from the sun, causing the temperature to increase with altitude. This results in temperatures dropping initially and then starting to rise about halfway up the trip, as described in option C.
