Which statement is incorrect regarding temperature inversion?

a. it occurs when warmer air is above cooler air.
b. it occurs in the stratosphere due to the ozone layer.
c. it occurs in the thermosphere due to solar radiation.
d. it occurs in the mesosphere due to meteors heating up the air.

The correct answer is option D. "It occurs in the mesosphere due to meteors heating up the air".

Explanation:

It is incorrect to affirm that temperature inversion occurs in the mesosphere due to meteors heating up the air. Temperature inversion is a phenomenon that occurs in the troposphere by the overlaying of a layer of cool air above a layer of warm air. The result is the temperature behaving inversely because normally layers of warm air are located above layers of cool air.
