Solution

The correct option is C Stratosphere
Location in Earth's atmosphere. In the midlatitudes, the peak concentrations of ozone occur at altitudes from 20 to 25 km (about 12 to 16 miles). Most of the remaining ozone occurs in the troposphere, the layer of the atmosphere that extends from Earth's surface up to the stratosphere. The Ozone layer or ozone shield is a region of Earth's stratosphere that absorbs most of the Sun's ultraviolet radiation. The ozone layer contains less than 10 parts per million of ozone, while the average ozone concentration in Earth's atmosphere as a whole is about 0.3 parts per million
So the correct answer is 'Stratosphere'.
