Correct Answer: Stratosphere


Solution : The correct option is Stratosphere.

The stratosphere, the second layer of Earth's atmosphere, is where the ozone layer is mostly found. It rises between 10 and 50 kilometres above the surface of the planet. The ozone layer is formed by the concentration of ozone in the stratosphere, and it is essential for absorbing most of the sun's harmful ultraviolet (UV) radiation. The protection of life on Earth from the damaging effects of excessive UV radiation depends on this UV radiation absorption.
