Correct Answer: Ultra-violet rays


Solution : The correct option is - Ultra-violet rays

The ozone layer above the surface of the Earth provides a shield against harmful ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun. It specifically filters out the majority of the sun's harmful ultraviolet  rays. This protection is crucial for life on Earth because excessive exposure to UV radiation can lead to various health problems, including skin cancer, cataracts, and immune system suppression.
