The ozone layer entirely filters out some wavelengths of light but lets others through. Dangers associated with holes in the ozone layer are well documented. However, one danger that is not talked about enough is that these holes could lead to severe eye damage for some species.

Some wavelengths of light that could damage eyesight are more likely to reach the earth when there are holes in the ozone layer.

This answer is unsupported. To say “all” wavelengths are filtered out is too strong here. We only know that the ozone layer filters out some wavelengths but not others. Additionally, we don’t know whether the filtered wavelengths are the same ones that could cause eye damage.

This answer is unsupported. We don’t have any information in the stimulus to determine where any species live.

This answer is unsupported. To say that “some” species could suffer severe eye damage when exposed to unfiltered sunlight does not imply that there are some species that will not suffer any damage. “Some”, in this case, could mean “all.”

This answer is unsupported. To say a “single wavelength” causes the damage is too strong. We know that there are wavelengths that cause damage, but we don’t know from the stimulus if it is one wavelength in particular.

This answer is strongly supported. We know from the stimulus that the ozone layer filters out some wavelengths. If there are holes in this layer, that makes it more likely that damaging wavelengths will not be filtered and cause eye damage.
