D). Ultraviolet Rays From The Sun Are Prevented From Reaching Earth.

Explanation:

The ozone layer of stratosphere serves to protect the earth and living beings from the harmful ultraviolet radiations of the sun which could otherwise cause diseases such as skin cancer. The ozone layer in the stratosphere absorbs the ultraviolet radiations of the sunlight and does not allow it to reach the earth and harm the living beings.
