  1. Ultraviolet radiation in the stratosphere is absorbed by
    1. SO2
    2. Ozone
    3. Oxygen
    4. Argon
Correct Option: B

The ozone layer of Earth’s stratosphere absorbs most of the Sun’s ultraviolet radiation. It absorbs 97 to 99 percent of the Sun’s medium-frequency ultraviolet light (from about 200 nm to 315 nm wavelength), which otherwise would potentially damage exposed life forms on the earth.
