Explanation
The stratosphere continues from 10 km to about 50 km. Most atmospheric ozone is
concentrated in a layer in the stratosphere, about 15-30 kilometers above the Earth's surface.
This ozone layer in the Earth’s stratosphere absorbs most of the Sun’s ultraviolet (UV) radiation that
may cause skin cancer.
Stratospheric Ozone is not harmful, but its presence on land is harmful.

All of the above
Explanation
Greenhouse gases (GHGs) are a group of gases that are able to absorb heat in the atmosphere keeping the earth’s surface warm. This ability of gases to trap heat in thermal form and spread evenly at earth’s surface is known as Greenhouse effect. A green house is a glass chamber in which plants are grown to provide them warmth by trapping sun light. The presence of these GHGs in excess enhances the Greenhouse effect which is creating global warming and consequently climate change.
