Solution

The correct option is C $O_{3}$ layer
The ozone layer is found in the stratosphere. It protects us from the harmful UV radiations coming from the sun. Most commercial flights are confined to the troposphere, but high-level supersonic aircraft inject pollutants into the stratosphere, which leads to the thinning of the ozone layer.

Hence, option C is correct.
