The graph shows the layers of Earth's atmosphere. Which statement best describes the relationship between temperature and altitude in the atmosphere? A. The relationship between temperature and altitude is variable and unpredictable.
B. Overall, the temperature of the atmosphere increases with altitude.
C. The relationship between temperature and altitude is different in each zone of the atmosphere.
D. Temperature decreases with altitude until the stratosphere is reached, and then it increases from there.

The best statement which describe this is actually:

D. Temperature decreases with altitude until the stratosphere is reached, and then it increases from there.

Explanation:

From the graph shown, it could be seen that, temperature decrease with height. The higher the height, the lower the temperature. For example, from the graph, when the height was around 50 km, the temperature was within the range of -10⁰C to 0⁰C. On the other hand, when the height increases around 78 km, the temperature decreases to the range of  to -70 ⁰C to -80⁰C
