Solution

The correct option is B 1, 2 and 3
Ground-level ozone (i.e. tropospheric ozone), though less concentrated than ozone aloft, is more of a problem because of its health effects and is also a greenhouse gas.

Ozone is a powerful oxidizing agent readily reacting with other chemical components to make many possibly toxic oxides and hence can cause severe diseases like asthma, chronic bronchitis, etc. Whereas, stratospheric ozone stops UV radiations from reaching the earth.

Ozone is the largest constituent of photochemical smog along with PAN.
