A quick Air Law question i need an explanation for...

Question from the Confuser;

The Transition Layer is defined as:

A - The layer between the transition level and the transition alititude
B - The layer between the transition altitute and the transition level
C - The layer between 3000ft altitude and the transition altitude
D - The layer between the transition altitude and the planned operating flight level

Now, i knew it was either A or B, however i thought this question was very poorly worded (or deceiving!).

Technically, you could argue, that both A and B are correct, right?

I "guessed" A and the answer was stated as B.

Obviousl i realise the format is:

Transition Level
Transition Layer
Transition Altitude

So are they basing their answer on the fact that the Transition Altitude is at the bottom of the model or what? Or is there a bigger picture i'm missing here?

Many Thanks!
