Solution

The correct option is C Stratosphere
In the stratosphere, ozone molecules (three oxygen atoms) bonded together, prevent some of the Sun's most intense rays from reaching the Earth's surface. Currently, scientists and researchers worldwide are monitoring this layer; so thin at the South Pole, we call it a hole where the molecules are being very less.
