The correct answer is C. Antarctica.
The ozone hole is a thinning of the ozone layer in Earth’s stratosphere over the Antarctic that occurs annually from October to mid-February. The ozone layer contains high concentrations of ozone (O3) relative to other parts of the atmosphere, although still small in relation to other gases in the stratosphere. The ozone layer absorbs most of the Sun’s ultraviolet radiation, preventing most of it from reaching the Earth’s surface.
The ozone hole was first detected in 1985 by British Antarctic Survey scientists using satellite data. The hole is caused by human-made chemicals called chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), which are released into the atmosphere and break down the ozone layer. CFCs were once widely used in refrigerators, air conditioners, and other products, but they have been banned since the 1980s.
The ozone hole is a serious environmental problem that can cause skin cancer, cataracts, and other health problems in humans. It can also damage plants and animals. The hole is slowly recovering, but it is expected to take decades to fully heal.
The other options are incorrect because they are not areas where the ozone hole is maximum. Africa, India, and Europe all have ozone holes, but they are much smaller than the ozone hole over Antarctica.
