Layer of the atmosphere where weather occurs.
A
stratosphere
B
thermosphere
C
troposphere
D
mesosphere
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Troposphere. Known as the lower atmosphere almost all weather occurs in this region. The troposphere begins at the Earth’s surface and extends from 4 to 12 miles (6 to 20 km) high. The height of the troposphere varies from the equator to the poles.

Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -Weather systems develop and exist in the troposphere (the lowest layer of the atmosphere). Above this layer lies the stratosphere, which, as the name implies, is highly stratified, stable and dry. It is not directly involved in the development of daily weather.
