Ozone-layer depletion can increase the risk of which problem?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Harm caused by ultraviolet radiation
Stratospheric ozone absorbs a significant part of the Sun’s harmful ultraviolet radiation. If the ozone layer becomes thinner, more UV radiation can reach Earth’s surface. Excessive UV exposure can damage skin and eyes and can harm plants and aquatic organisms. Thus option A is correct. The other choices describe impossible or unrelated effects and do not follow from ozone depletion.
