Correct answer choice is :


C) A product of a reaction between nitrogen oxides and volatile organic compounds present in various emissions that can irritate respiratory organs


Explanation:


The ozone layer is a deep layer in the stratosphere, surrounding the Earth, that has huge numbers of ozone in it. Interestingly, it is also this ultraviolet radiation that produces the ozone in the first place. Ozone is a particular kind of oxygen, made up of three oxygen atoms rather than the normal two oxygen atoms. This real sunscreen, identified as Earth's ozone layer, consumes and prevents the bulk of the sun's UV radiation. Within days of the ozone layer's disappearance, many plants would die.

White raven [17]

Answer:

There are five principles of fitness out of which two are overload principle and rest and recovery principle. Overload principle is one of the most important principle which tell that to gain and improve the fitness one should do the hard work.  

Slowly and gradually the intensity and time of exercise are increased so that our body can adapt to the hard work. Overload principle plays an important role in improving the skills and improving performance during exercise and sports.

Rest and recovery principle is important to relax the body and release the stress that happens due to intense training like in case of weight lifting one day rest should be taken to repair and rebuild the muscles. This allows the body to encounter the fatigue and improve performance.
