Brief Explanations

Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs, including freon) are synthetic chemicals that break down ozone molecules in the stratosphere, causing significant ozone layer depletion. The other options relate to separate environmental issues: deforestation affects water cycles and carbon levels, groundwater contamination impacts aquatic/ human health, fossil fuel burning drives acid rain and climate change, and industrial waste in water supplies causes water pollution.

Answer:

A. The use of freon and CFC spray propellants.
