C Correct answer
Explanation

Satellites are in the exosphere layer of the atmosphere. This is the layer where our atmosphere merges with space. The ionosphere is defined as the layer of the Earth's atmosphere that is ionized. The ionosphere represents less than 0.1% of the total mass of the Earth's atmosphere. Even though it is such a small part, it is extremely important.
