Solution
Both statements I and II are true.
Explanation:
The stratosphere is the most stable layer of the atmosphere and contains ozone gas, which forms the ozone layer protecting us from harmful ultraviolet rays by absorbing them. The temperature in the stratosphere increases with height due to this absorption of UV radiation by ozone. Because of this temperature increase and lack of clouds or weather phenomena, the stratosphere is calm and stable, providing ideal conditions for jet planes to fly.
