Solution

The correct option is B ultraviolet rays
Australia has the highest rate of skin cancer in the world. The majority of skin cancers in Australia are caused by exposure to UV radiation in sunlight.

Ozone gas hinders the entrance of UV radiation in the atmosphere. Due to air pollution, the ozone layer is depleting allowing UV rays to enter the Earth's atmosphere thereby causing various skin related diseases.
