What term refers to a form of oxygen that has three oxygen atoms in each molecule instead of two and protects against UV radiation?

  1. Pathogen

  2. Pancreas

  3. Oxygen

  4. Ozone

The correct answer is: Ozone

Ozone is the correct term for the form of oxygen with three oxygen atoms in each molecule. Both Pathogen and Pancreas are incorrect as they are unrelated to oxygen and its properties. While oxygen (choice C) is the correct general term for the element, it specifically refers to molecules containing two oxygen atoms, not three. Ozone is the only option that accurately describes the form of oxygen that protects against UV radiation.
