Solution

The correct option is C

ozone layer


Chlorofluorocarbons are the pollutants released from air conditioners and refrigerators. These pollutants combine with the ozone layer present in the atmosphere and damage it. The ozone layer protects the life on earth by absorbing the harmful UV rays emitted by the Sun. Exposure to these rays causes skin cancer.
