Which of the following statements is/are correct?
a.
b.
c.
d.
Answer : c
Stratospheric Aerosol Injection (SAI)
Stratospheric Aerosol Injection (SAI) – It involves injecting aerosols (tiny particles) into Earth's stratosphere.

Low-Altitude SAI – Traditionally, SAI envisioned injections at very high altitudes (above 20 km).
However, the new study investigates the feasibility of spraying particles at lower heights (e.g., 13 km).
