Solution

The correct option is A Ozone hole
Cataracts and blindness are among the most common eye diseases associated with further ozone layer depletion and increased UV-B at the Earth's surface. A 1% decrease in stratospheric ozone may result in 100,000 to 150,000 additional cases of blindness due to eye cataracts worldwide. The ozone layer is responsible for absorbing harmful ultraviolet rays, and preventing them from entering the Earth's atmosphere.
So the correct answer is 'Ozone hole'.
