Solution
The correct option is B Ozone
In the stratosphere of the atmosphere, the UV rays from sunlight are directly incident. They react with oxygen and catalyze its polymerisation to form the ozone. This ozone exists in the form of a layer and prevents the penetration of the UV rays to the earth's surface.A. Ozone is created by the UV rays in the stratosphere. In the troposphere, it is a secondary pollutant.B. Sulphur dioxide is released when there is combustion of the fossil fuels.C. Carbon monoxide is also a result of combustion.D. Fluorides occur as natural elements.So, the correct answer is 'Ozone'
