Solution

The correct option is B

ultraviolet


The ozone layer is a region of the earth's stratosphere which absorbs the maximum ultraviolet radiations of the sun. The ozone layer protects life on earth by acting as a shield against ultraviolet rays. Ultraviolet radiation from the sun gets absorbed by the ozone layer keeping much of those harmful rays away from the organisms on the earth.
