Answer:

Option: "A"

Explanation:

The chlorofluorocarbons are the compound formed by three constituents that is carbon, fluorine and chlorine. CFC's are broken in the presence of sunlight that results in the separation of all the three molecules in the environment.

On release of these molecules in stratosphere, chlorine monoxide and oxygen is formed by the reaction of ozone and chlorine.

Cl + O3 = ClO + O2

As released in environment this chlorine monoxide further reacts with oxygen, which breaks down the chlorine monoxide and releases chlorine molecule which contributes to diminish the ozone molecule, and this cycle continues.

ClO + O = Cl + O2

The process by which energy is derived from solar radiation that is used by certain organisms to form organic matter is called:
JulsSmile [24]
<span>Photosynthesis. Photosynthesis is a process whereby green plants and other organism like bacteria produce their food using organs like chlorophyll in plants and plasma membrane in bacteria to convert solar energy into chemical energy. The energy is stored in carbohydrate molecules, such as sugars, which are synthesized from carbon dioxide and water. Most plants, algae, and cyanobacteria perform photosynthesis. These organisms and plants produce organic waste product like water and Oxygen which is essentially for life on earth.</span>
