Ozone in the stratosphere is a product of UV radiations acting on dioxygen molecules. These radiations split \mathrm{O_{2}} molecule into \mathrm{O} atoms. These free \mathrm{O} atoms thus formed combine with molecular oxygen to form ozone.

\text{O}_{2}\overset{\text{UV}}{\longrightarrow} 2\; \text{O}\; \text{(g)}

\text{O (g)}+\text{O}_{2} \text{(g)}\rightleftharpoons \text{O}_{3}\; \text{(g)}

Hence the correct answer is option (4)
