Correct Answer: Ultraviolet rays


Solution : The correct option is Ultraviolet rays.

Ozone is critical in safeguarding the biosphere from the sun's damaging ultraviolet (UV) radiation. Ozone molecules have a unique ability to absorb and block a considerable fraction of incoming UV light, particularly UV-C and UV-B photons with shorter wavelengths. When these high-energy UV photons collide with ozone molecules in the stratosphere, their energy is transformed to heat.
