Solution

The correct option is A CO2 and CO

Ozone depletion allows harmful UVB radiations to reach Earth's surface. It causes ageing of the skin, damage to skin cells and skin cancer. In the human eye, the cornea absorbs UVB radiation, and a high dose of UVB causes inflammation of the cornea, resulting in a condition commonly known as snow blindness.
