Solution

The correct option is B ultraviolet

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.
