Solution

The correct option is A The amount of harmful ultraviolet radiation
When the destruction of the ozone layer increases, the amount of harmful ultraviolet radiation increases.
Note:
Ozone layer acts as natural sun block and shields us from the UV radiations of the sun which are dangerous to living organisms.
The ozone molecules absorb ultraviolet rays between 310 to 200 nm wavelength.
Ozone absorbs UV radiation to give back oxygen. Thus, the ozone layer acts as a screen and prevents the harmful radiations from reaching the surface of earth.
