Solution

The correct option is D Depletion of ozone layer
Increased amount of chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) in the atmosphere leads to ozone layer depletion as CFCs are responsible for decomposition of ozone molecule into molecular oxygen and nascent oxygen in the presence of UV rays at the upper layers of atmosphere.
