Explanation / Answer

ANSWER-

The STRATOSPHERE is tha layer in which absorption of ultraviolet radiation by ozone causes temperature to incraese with height and is indicated on the the grappfhic as layer:3

The layer that is heated at is base by solar visible radiation ,causing temperature to decrease with altitude is the TROPOSPHERE is layer :4 on the graphics.

The layer in which cooling through radiation by co2 molecule causes temperature to decrease with altitude is the MESOSPHERE and is layer :2 on the graphic.

The THERMOSPHERE is the warmest layer of the atmosphere .where the main heat source is solar extream ultraviolet radiation and is indicated as layer :1 on the graphics.

The curve representing global mean temperature during solar minimum is curve:A

The curve representing global mean temperature during solar maximum is curve:D

The curve representing global mean density during solar minimum is curve:C

The curve representing global mean density during solar maximum is curve:B
