Answer: C
The stratosphere lies between the troposphere and the mesosphere (printed 'Toposphere & Mesosphere').
The layers of the atmosphere, from the ground up, are the troposphere (to about 8-18 km), the stratosphere (to about 50 km), the mesosphere (to about 85 km) and the thermosphere. The stratosphere contains the ozone layer, which absorbs most of the sun's harmful ultraviolet radiation, which is why it is said to protect life.
The mesosphere and thermosphere lie above the stratosphere, and the ionosphere and exosphere are higher still, overlapping the thermosphere and the outer edge of the atmosphere. None of these pairs encloses the stratosphere.
