D Correct answer
Explanation

The thermosphere is the warmest layer of Earth's atmosphere, with temperatures reaching up to 2,500°C due to absorption of intense solar radiation. Despite these high temperatures, the air is so thin that it would feel cold to human skin. The troposphere is where we live and where weather occurs, while the stratosphere contains the ozone layer.
