B. Noise Pollution – 2. Ultraviolet light
C. Global warming – 3. Decibel
D. Ozone Hole – 4. Carbon dioxide
Correct Answer:
(b) 2 3 4 1
Explanation:
Overexposure to Ultraviolet (UV) light causes skin cancer (A-2). Noise pollution is measured in decibels (B-3). Global warming is primarily caused by greenhouse gases like Carbon dioxide (C-4). The depletion of the ozone layer (Ozone hole) is caused by Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) (D-1).
