Answer

  • D A layer in which the temperature increases with height

Explanation

Normally it gets colder with height. In an inversion it is the other way round. Inversions are very stable, suppress vertical mixing and trap haze, smoke and fog beneath them. Wind shear can occur at the edge of an inversion.
