Solution

The correct option is A CO2 and CO

Ozone depletion allows harmful UVB radiations to reach Earth's surface. It causes aging of skin, damage to skin cells and various types of skin cancers. In the human eye, the cornea absorbs UVB radiation, and a high dose of UVB causes inflammation of the cornea, resulting in a condition known commonly as snow blindness.
