C) It maintains the temperature of the earth
D) It protects them from excessive ultraviolet rays of the sun

Ozone is good at trapping a type of radiation called ultraviolet radiation, or UV light, which can penetrate organisms' protective layers, like skin, damaging DNA molecules in plants and animals.
