Answer: The correct answer is option (D)

Step-by-step explanation:

These aurora are also known as polar lights or northern lights( north poles) or southern lights(south pole) . This is caused by the interaction between the charged particles from the sun with particles present in the upper atmosphere of the earth's atmosphere. The layer in which these interaction takes place is Thermosphere (with high temperature).

Hence, the correct answer is option (D).
