Explanation

Among the listed pollutants, chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) are the most harmful to the ozone layer because they release chlorine atoms that break down ozone molecules. In contrast, carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, and nitrogen oxides primarily contribute to other environmental issues but do not significantly damage the ozone layer.
