Answer:

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.
