Solution

The correct option is A True
Ozone is present in the upper layer of the atmosphere. The ozone layer is important because it absorbs harmful ultraviolet radiations and protects the surface of the Earth. These ultraviolet rays can harm both plant and animal life. They are responsible for skin cancer and stunting of plant growth.
