1. (a)–(iv), (b)–(iii), (c)–(ii), (d)–(i)
2. (a)–(i), (b)–(iv), (c)–(iii), (d)–(ii)
3. (a)–(iii), (b)–(ii), (c)–(iv), (d)–(i)
4. (a)–(ii), (b)–(i), (c)–(iv), (d)–(iii)

Correct answer: (a)–(i), (b)–(iv), (c)–(iii), (d)–(ii)

Solution

The correct option matches the heights of the atmospheric layers accurately: the troposphere extends up to about 10 km, the stratosphere reaches around 70 km, the mesosphere goes up to about 180 km, and the thermosphere starts from around 270 km.
