Which of the following best describes the effect of temperature on the chemical reactions that result in ozone layer depletion?AAn increase in global temperatures causes an increase in kinetic energy, so chlorine atoms can break down ozone faster and more often in the troposphere.BLow temperatures in the stratosphere break down polar stratospheric clouds that release harmful chlorine containing compounds that break down ozone.CThe increase in carbon dioxide and methane in the atmosphere released from anthropogenic and natural sources break down ozone, creating ozone thinning over highly populated areas.DLow temperatures create polar stratospheric clouds that lead to the production of free radicals of chlorine, which result in the breakdown of ozone at the beginning of the antarctic spring.
