Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B

Ozone is triatomic `[O_(3)]` allotrope (occurrence of one element in more than one form) of oxygen. It is a blue gas with purgent odour and is highly poisonous to the living system. It is present in stratosphere region of atmosphere however, it does not exists in the lower atmosphere region called troposphere, hence does not show any fatal effect on life form. It its value in the atmosphere increases the appreciable amount, it may becomes fatal, i.e., becomes poisonous and will kill all the living forms.
