The correct option is C) stratosphere.
The vast majority of ozone gas (approximately 90%) is concentrated in the stratosphere, forming the ozone layer. This layer is crucial for absorbing most of the Sun’s harmful ultraviolet (UV) radiation. A smaller amount of ozone exists in the troposphere, where it acts as a pollutant and a greenhouse gas.
