Ozone is most depleted in Antarctica although very few people live there. Scientists believe that this is observed because: a)  there are many coal powered plants there   b) the cold climate favors the formation of atmospheric ice crystals which catalyze ozone decomposition   c) The abundance of polar bears compensates for the low human population   d)  the Russians are conducting secret research there which emits gases which destroy ozone
