Solution

The correct option is C ozone
Chlorofluorocarbons are released from refrigerators and air conditioners. These compounds release chlorine in the presence of sunlight. This chlorine reacts with ozone and breaks it down to form oxygen and creates an imbalance. This results in the depletion of ozone layer.
