The correct options are
A Ozone layer depletion
B Greenhouse effect
D Global warming
Global warming, enhanced greenhouse effect, ozone layer depletion etc. are the major causes of environmental degradation.
Greenhouse effect is a process that occurs when gases like carbon dioxide, methane, ozone, CFCs etc. in the Earth's atmosphere trap the Sun's heat.
Global warming is defined as the gradual increase in the average temperature of the Earth's atmosphere and its oceans, a change that is believed to be permanently changing the Earth’s climate.
Ozone layer depletion is caused due to damage in stratospheric ozone by CFCs and HCFCs used as refrigerants, aerosols and propellants. This prevents the blocking of harmful UV radiations that reach the Earth.
