Answer: Option B. "Mesosphere"

Step-by-step explanation:

Atmospheric layer that prevents meteoroids from reaching Earth's surface is mesosphere.

The mesosphere is the highest layer of the atmosphere and above the stratosphere. In the mesosphere layer, the air relatively mixed together in this layer and the temperature decreases along with the altitude and most of the meteors burn up in the mesosphere.

Thus the correct option is mesosphere.
