    Option D

    Explanation:

    Ozone is a type of oxygen that contains three oxygen molecules rather than the standard two. It is the ozone layer high in the upper atmosphere and encompasses the earth. This layer goes about as a channel to anticipate a lot of the destructive UV radiations in daylight from arriving at earth.

    Thus if the ozone layer will get damaged completely, the disastrous effect of the Ultra violet radiations would render the atmosphere and the life on earth in a devastated state with dangerous consequences.
