Solution

The correct option is A $O_{3}$
In the stratosphere of the atmosphere, the UV rays are concentrated and these react with the oxygen to produce the ozone. This ozone persists in the form of the ozone layer and acts as the absorbent for the UV rays. Ozone layer does not allow the UV-B and UV-C from hitting the earth's surface, thereby preventing the various harmful after effects. Sulphur dioxide, carbon monoxide and methane are the primary pollutants of air.
Hence, the correct answer is 'O $_{3}$ '.
