Correct Answer: It is located immediately above the stratopause.


Solution : The correct option is It is located immediately above the stratopause.

The ionosphere is not specifically located above the stratopause. The ionosphere is a region of Earth's upper atmosphere, starting roughly at altitudes of 30 miles (48 kilometres) and extending upward to several hundred miles (or kilometres). It is characterised by a high concentration of ions and free electrons, which can affect the propagation of radio waves.
