Solution

The correct option is C ozone depletion
After the release of CFCs into the atmosphere, they remain quite stable until they reach the ozone layer where they are met by UV radiation. They dissociate and release chlorine ions which
destroys tens of thousands of ozone molecules before exiting out of the stratosphere. This drastically reduces the ozone molecules and leads to ozone layer depletion.
