Solution

The correct option is C

ozone layer


Chlorofluorocarbons are the pollutants released from air conditioners and refrigerators. These pollutants damage the ozone layer present in the atmosphere creating ozone holes. The ozone layer absorbs harmful UV rays emitted by the Sun. Being exposed to these rays causes sunburns and tanning (the colour of skin darkens).
