Solution

The correct option is C Stratosphere
The ozone layer exists in the lower regions of the stratosphere. Its altitude and thickness may vary depending on the geographical area but it extends over the entire globe. The ozone has a protective role in the upper atmosphere where it prevents the intense UV rays from reaching the earth's surface.
