Option (iii)
Ozone hole is thinning of the ozone layer of the stratosphere at some places is correct since it was found that a unique set of conditions were responsible for the ozone hole. In summer, nitrogen dioxide and methane react with chlorine monoxide and chlorine atoms forming chlorine sinks, preventing much ozone depletion, whereas in winter, special types of clouds called polar stratospheric clouds are formed over Antarctica.
