Solution

The correct option is B

They contain CFC (Chlorofluorocarbons).


CFC usage is more in modern days because it is easily manufactured at cheaper rates. CFCs have been used extensively and in such a wide variety of applications, such as shaving creams, spray paints etc. Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) react with the ozone layer, causing a hole that exposes the surface of the earth to stronger UV radiation.
