A.Stratosphere
B.Mesosphere
C.Thermosphere✓ Correct
D.Exosphere
Explanation
The thermosphere, which contains the ionosphere, is the layer of the atmosphere that helps in the transmission of radio waves. The ionosphere within the thermosphere contains ionized particles that reflect radio waves back to Earth, enabling long-distance radio communication. Without this layer, radio signals would travel into space and be lost.
