D Exosphere Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

Solution

Long distance propagation of radio waves depends on an invisible layer of charged particles, which envelops the Earth. This layer of charged particles known as the ionosphere has been in existence for millions of years. For those, who pioneered the long-distance radio communication during the early part of the twentieth century, the ionosphere came as a boon.
