Answer:

(a) chlorofluorocarbon compounds

Explanation:

CFCs when rise above in the stratosphere, UV rays break down the compound and Cl atoms are released.

These Cl atoms are capable to destroy the ozone layer so much as they break down the O3 (ozone) molecule and combine with the freed oxygen atom leaving O2 molecules behind.
