Which component of the stratosphere is especially important for protection of life?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Ozone
The ozone layer is concentrated mainly in the stratosphere and protects living organisms by absorbing much of the Sun’s harmful ultraviolet radiation. Without this filtering action, more UV-B and UV-C would reach Earth’s surface and damage skin, eyes, plants, and other organisms. Therefore option A is correct. Dust and fog are not the protective stratospheric component, and lava is unrelated to the atmosphere.
