ozone absorbs ultraviolet radiation.

Explanation:

The ozone layer is important as it is a protective layer for our atmosphere.

It is holds its prime importance as it is able to absorb harmful UV radiation which are not being absorbed by nitrogen even.

The following statements are wrong as:

a) Humans need to breathe air containing some ozone: we don't need ozone for our any biological processes.

b) ozone purifies the atmosphere by reacting with excess fluorocarbons: Infact ozone gets depleted due to reaction with fluorocarbons.

c) ozone reflects high energy radiation such as X-rays and gamma rays: no there is not relation with the reflection of high energy radiation and ozone layer.
