Solution

The correct option is A Antarctica

Ozone is a protective blanket that is present in stratosphere which protects Earth from harmful effects of UV radiations that are present in sun light.

Ozone holes are formed in Antarctica and these are due to special clouds that form in the stratosphere called polar stratospheric clouds. Clouds usually do not form in stratosphere, this can happen only at such low temperatures. These clouds accumulate pollutants resulting in formation of ozone holes.
