Correct Answer: O 3 layer


Solution : The correct option is the O 3 layer .

The O 3 layer gets thin as a result of supersonic planes, particularly those operating in the stratosphere. This is caused by nitrogen oxides that are released from supersonic aircraft engines. These nitrogen oxides can catalytically destroy ozone molecules once they get to the stratosphere, which lowers the amount of ozone there.
