Solution

The correct option is D Chlorofluorocarbon
Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) and other halogenated ozone-depleting substances (ODS) are mainly responsible for man-made chemical ozone depletion.
$C O_{2}$ and $C H_{4}$ are greenhouse gases.
While $S O_{2}$ isn't a direct greenhouse gas like carbon dioxide or methane but it is considered a pollutant as it plays a role in acid rain.
