Solution
The correct option is A Hazardous
'Harmful' means causing or likely to cause harm.
"the ozone layer blocks the harmful rays from the sun"
In this context, "By now everybody knows that smoking is harmful to the health", 'harmful' means hazardous or injurious or detrimental. Hence, option B is correct and the other options are not because they do not provide the appropriate information.
