Answer:
b. stratosphere
Explanation:
The ozone layer, located in the stratosphere is responsible for absorbing the most UV radiation. This is because the ozone molecule (O3) is able to absorb UV radiation due to its molecular structure, specifically the presence of three oxygen atoms which allows it to efficiently absorb the UV-C radiation (the most damaging to living organisms). This protects life on Earth from harmful effects of UV radiation, such as DNA damage, skin cancer and other harmful impacts on plants and marine life.
