• D. It will help harmful sun radiations to reach Earth and damage many life forms.

Answer 1

The correct option is B

It will become poisonous and kill living forms.

The correct option is B: It will become poisonous and kill living forms

Explanation of the correct answer:

1. Oxygen is a vital requirement for respiration in aerobic organisms.
2. Ozone on the other hand is a highly unstable gas that when present in higher and sustained concentrations causes a constriction of the lung bronchioles.
3. Thus, it leads to wheezing, coughing, and shortness of breath.
4. Hence, if all the oxygen present in the environment is converted to ozone it will become poisonous and kill living forms.

The final answer is option B.
