Option 2: Antarctica
Option 3: India
Option 4: Alaska
Correct Answer: Antarctica
Solution : The correct option is Antarctica.
The ozone hole is a region in the Earth's stratosphere where the concentration of ozone (O3) is significantly reduced. This thinning of the ozone layer primarily occurs over Antarctica and is most prominent during the Southern Hemisphere's spring (September to November). The ozone hole is a human-made environmental issue and is caused by the release of man-made chemicals, primarily chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), into the atmosphere. These chemicals break down ozone molecules.
