C) Ammonia
D) Methane
Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: B
Solution:
- Depletion of the ozone layer in the atmosphere can lead to an increased incidence of skin cancers. The ozone layer absorbs and blocks the majority of the sun’s harmful ultraviolet (UV) radiation. When the ozone layer is depleted, more UV radiation reaches the Earth’s surface, increasing the risk of skin cancer and other health issues.
