Identify the wrong statement in the following:

  1. A
    Chlorofluorocarbons are responsible for ozone layer depletion
  2. B
    Greenhouse effect is responsible for global warming
  3. C
    Ozone layer does not permit infrared radiation from the sun to reach the earth
  4. D
    Acid rain is mostly because of oxides of nitrogen and sulphur

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

The ozone layer in the stratosphere acts as a shield that absorbs most of the Sun's harmful ultraviolet (UV) radiation. It does not block infrared radiation; greenhouse gases (like ) are the ones that interact significantly with infrared radiation to trap heat.Statements A, B, and D are correct environmental facts.
