Best answer

Correct option is (B) CFC

The main cause of ozone layer depletion is the build-up of chlorofluorocarbon(CFC's) in the atmosphere. When the CFC's reaches the upper atmosphere, high UV radiation reacts with these and releases chlorine atoms. These free chlorine atoms react with ozone thereby leading to the depletion of the ozone layer.
