Most atmospheric ozone is concentrated in the stratosphere, above the troposphere. Ozone molecules absorb a large portion of harmful ultraviolet radiation from the Sun and therefore help protect living organisms. The troposphere is the lowest atmospheric layer where most weather occurs. The mesosphere and thermosphere lie above the stratosphere. Therefore the correct layer is the stratosphere.
