Hint: We know that Earth's atmosphere has a sequence of layers, each with its own specific traits. From ground level on moving upward, these layers are called the troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere, thermosphere and exosphere. The exosphere gradually flees into the interplanetary space.

Complete step by step answer:
We can say the troposphere is the bottom most layer of our atmosphere. Starting at ground level, the layer of troposphere extends upward to about 10 km above sea level. We humans live in the troposphere, and all weather changes happen in this lowest layer. Most clouds are found here, because 99% of the water vapor present in the atmosphere is present in the troposphere.
The next layer after the troposphere is known as the stratosphere. The ozone layer is seen within the stratosphere. In the lower stratosphere, commercial passenger jets fly, because the stratosphere is a less-turbulent layer that offers a smoother ride. The stratosphere gets warmer as we move higher.
The formation of clouds takes place in the troposphere and we live in the layer troposphere.

So, the correct answer is Option A.

Note: As we know that the above stratosphere is the next layer called a mesosphere. It expands upward to an altitude of about 85 km above Earth. The layer of the Earth's atmosphere directly above the mesosphere and directly below the exosphere is called the thermosphere. The thermosphere begins about 85 kilometers Earth above. The region of thermosphere between the altitudes of 50 km and 100 km is known as the ionosphere. In the region of the ionosphere, higher concentrations of ions and electrons are present.
