- AStatement is incorrect but statement is true
- Correct answerBBoth statement and are false
- CStatement is correct but statement is false
- DBoth statement and are correct
Solution
Statement
are broken down by powerful UV radiation and releases chlorine free radical which reacts with ozone and start chain reaction.

Statement
Atmosphere ozone reacts with nitric oxide to produce nitrogen dioxide and oxygen.
Hence, the correct answer is option: 'B'.
