Which element protects life from harmful radiation coming from the Sun?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Ozone
Ozone protects living organisms by absorbing a substantial part of the Sun’s harmful ultraviolet radiation, especially in the stratosphere. This filtering action helps reduce biological damage to people, animals and plants. Thus, option C is correct. Water vapour affects weather and dust may help cloud droplets form, while nitrogen is abundant but does not provide the same ultraviolet shield.
