A. Carbon atom
B. Chlorine atom
C. Fluorine atom
D. The entire compound
✅ The correct answer is option C.
The ozone layer is being destroyed by chlorofluorocarbons. In this regard Fluorine atom is considered as the most harmful. Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) could deplete Earth’s atmospheric ozone layer, which blocks the sun’s damaging ultraviolet rays. When the scientists reported their findings in 1974, CFCs were widely used as refrigerant gases and as propellants in aerosol sprays.
