Question: Which of the following statements about the depletion of ozone layer is correct?
The problem of ozone depletion is more serious at poles because ice crystals in the clouds
over poles act as catalyst for photochemical reactions involving the decomposition of ozone by
Cl • and ClO • radicals
The problem of ozone depletion is less serious at poles because $\mathrm{NO}_{2}$ solidifies and is not available for consuming $\mathrm{ClO}^{*}$ radicals
Oxides of nitrogen also do not react with ozone in stratosphere
Freons, chlorofluorocarbons, are inert chemically, they do not react with ozone in stratosphere
