Solution
The correct option is C Sun
The ozone layer or ozone shield is a region of Earth's stratosphere which contains a high concentration of ozone (O3) in relation to other parts of the atmosphere,
The ozone layer acts as a filter for the shorter wavelength and highly hazardous ultraviolet radiation (UVR) from the sun, protecting life on Earth from its potentially harmful effects.
Hence Ozone shields the earth from the harmful ultraviolet rays from the sun.
