    The correct answer is chlorine gas.

    Explanation:

    When HCFC and CFC or chlorofluorocarbons get exposed to ultraviolet light for a longer duration, they gradually get dissociate into chlorine radicals, as shown below:

    CCl₃ ⇒ CCl₂F⁺ + Cl⁻

    This Cl is not a molecule, however, is a radical, and thus, acts distinctly from Cl₂. The Cl⁻ reacts with O₃ (ozone) and reduces it to oxygen. Hence, depleting ozone present in the stratosphere, which safeguards life on Earth.
