Answer 1

The correct response is: It peaks in spring and decreases in fall.

In the Arctic, the ozone layer tends to be at its lowest levels in winter due to the formation of polar stratospheric clouds and the subsequent chemical reactions that take place in the spring when sunlight returns. The ozone levels typically peak in late winter to early spring before decreasing into fall.
