Explanation:

Brief Explanations

The ozone layer in the stratosphere absorbs most UVC and a significant portion of UVB. UVA has the longest wavelength among UV - A, B, C and can pass through the ozone layer. Most of the UV waves reaching Earth's surface are UVA as UVC is mostly absorbed by the ozone layer and some UVB is also absorbed.

Answer:

The ozone layer protects Earth from high - energy UVC waves.
Only UVA waves pass through the ozone layer.
Most of the UV waves that reach Earth's surface are UVA waves.
