The common misconceptions regarding ozone depletion include:

I. Since CFC molecules are heavier than air (nitrogen or oxygen), the CFC molecules cannot reach the stratosphere in a significant amount.
II. Natural sources of tropospheric chlorine are four to five times larger than man-made ones and are responsible for ozone depletion.
III. The ozone hole should be above the sources of CFCs.

1. Only I and II 2. Only I and III
3. Only II and III 4. I, II, and III
