Task: Question Answering
Input (English): Background Paragraph: The ozone layer is contained within the stratosphere. In this layer ozone concentrations are about 2 to 8 parts per million, which is much higher than in the lower atmosphere but still very small compared to the main components of the atmosphere. It is mainly located in the lower portion of the stratosphere from about 15–35 km (9.3–21.7 mi; 49,000–115,000 ft), though the thickness varies seasonally and geographically. About 90% of the ozone in Earth's atmosphere is contained in the stratosphere. 
Story: The ozone layer helps organisms by protecting them from Sun's ultraviolet radiation. To find the usefulness of ozone layer Mike wanted to see how much ozone are there in the atmosphere. He then collected three samples of atmosphere, sample A sample B, and sample C. Sample A was collected from the upper portion of the stratosphere. Sample B was collected from the lower portion of the stratosphere. Sample C was collected from the lower atmosphere. 
Question: Which sample's layer would protect less from ultraviolet radiation, sample A or sample B?
Output (English): sample A.
