Which option correctly gives the location and function of the ozone layer?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Absorbing ultraviolet radiation in the stratosphere
The ozone layer is concentrated mainly in the stratosphere, above the troposphere. Ozone molecules absorb much of the Sun’s harmful ultraviolet radiation, especially UV-B and UV-C, thereby reducing the radiation reaching Earth’s surface. Therefore option B correctly combines location and function. The other options assign unrelated processes to the wrong atmospheric or Earth-system regions.
