Layer of the atmosphere closest to Earth’s surface
A
troposphere
B
stratosphere
C
mesosphere
D
thermosphere
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The troposphere is the lowest layer of our atmosphere. Starting at ground level, it extends upward to about 10 km (6.2 miles or about 33, 000 feet) above sea level. We humans live in the troposphere, and nearly all weather occurs in this lowest layer.

Detailed explanation-2: -The layer closest to Earth’s surface is the troposphere, reaching from about seven and 15 kilometers (five to 10 miles) from the surface. The troposphere is thickest at the equator, and much thinner at the North and South Poles.

Detailed explanation-3: -From lowest to highest, the major layers are the troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere, thermosphere and exosphere. Troposphere. Earth’s troposphere extends from Earth’s surface to, on average, about 12 kilometers (7.5 miles) in height, with its height lower at Earth’s poles and higher at the equator.

Detailed explanation-4: -The Troposphere This is the lowest part of the atmosphere-the part we live in. It contains most of our weather-clouds, rain, snow. In this part of the atmosphere the temperature gets colder as the distance above the earth increases, by about 6.5°C per kilometre.

Detailed explanation-5: -The stratosphere is a layer of Earth’s atmosphere. It is the second layer of the atmosphere as you go upward. The troposphere, the lowest layer, is right below the stratosphere.
