Answer:

Option C: Provides safety to life on earth from ultraviolet radiation

Detailed Solution:

The correct answer is “Provides safety to life on earth from ultraviolet radiation”.

The ozone layer in the atmosphere protects life on Earth from harmful ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun. Ozone is a colorless, reactive gas that's found in all layers of the atmosphere, but most of it (about 90%) is in the stratosphere, which is 10–16 kilometers above the Earth's surface.
