Answer: UV rays reacting with the O2 molecules (Option C)

Ozone in the earth's stratosphere is created by UV light striking oxygen molecules containing two oxygen atoms, splitting them into individual oxygen atoms called atomic oxygen. then atomic oxygen combines with unbroken O2 to create ozone (O3)

There are other causes of ozone depletion  as well :

Human activity such as the release of various compounds containing CFC’s is a major cause of ozone damage. CFC is the most evident and the most destructive molecule.  Natural sources also contributes to the depletion of the ozone layer.
