Endemism

Endemism is the state of a species being native to a single defined geographic location, such as an island, state, nation, country or other defined zone; organisms that are indigenous to a place are not endemic to it if they are also found elsewhere.

Explanation:

Endemic species are those that are found in just one region and nowhere else in the world. For example, kangaroos are originally endemic to Australia and are found nowhere else in the world. ... The Tasmanian Tiger is one such animal that was endemic to Australia, Tasmania and New Guinea. But now, it is extinct.

The stratosphere

contains the ozone layer ,

is used by airplanes,

has strong, steady winds , and

increases in temperature as altitude increases .

Explanation:

The stratosphere is the atmospheric layer between 10 km and 50 km above the Earth's surface.

It includes the ozone layer, which is at an altitude of about 20 km.

It has strong, steady winds that can reach as high as 220 km/h.

Passenger aircraft generally fly in the lower levels of the stratosphere, at altitudes of about 10 km to 12 km.

Temperatures increase with altitude, from -50 °C at 10 km to -3 °C at 50 km.

A is wrong. The mesosphere (altitude 50 km to 85 km) is the coldest of the atmospheric layers, with temperatures as low as -90 °C at 85 km.
