Explanation:

All four codes are correct.

A new study released June 11, 2024, has reported the first significant decrease in atmospheric concentrations of potent ozone-depleting substances (ODS) known as hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs).

Ozone-Depleting Substances (ODS) are chemicals that cause the depletion of the stratospheric ozone layer.
This layer is crucial for protecting life on Earth by absorbing the majority of the sun's harmful ultraviolet (UV) radiation.
The most common ODS include chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), halons, carbon tetrachloride, and methyl chloroform.
ODS are substances commonly used in refrigerators, air conditioners, fire extinguishers, and aerosols.

Hence option 4th is correct.
