Why does ozone have a large effect despite its small quantity in the atmosphere?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Because it effectively absorbs specific ultraviolet radiation
The governing concept is that atmospheric importance depends on a substance’s function, not merely its percentage. Ozone absorbs much of the biologically harmful ultraviolet radiation, especially in the stratosphere, thereby protecting living organisms from cellular and genetic damage. Option A is correct. Ozone is not the heaviest atmospheric gas, does not supply most nitrogen, and does not completely stop rainfall, so B, C, and D are scientifically incorrect.
