B Correct answer
Explanation

The ozone layer is located in the stratosphere, approximately 10-50 kilometers above Earth's surface. This layer contains high concentrations of ozone (O3) that absorbs most of the Sun's harmful ultraviolet radiation. The troposphere is the lowest layer where weather occurs, the mesosphere is above the stratosphere, and the ionosphere is in the upper atmosphere.
