Freon is a brand name for CFCs, so it's kinda right too.

I’m pretty confident it’s CFCs, but I keep second-guessing myself. Freon is a brand name for some CFCs, right?

Wasn't there something about HCFCs being phased out later? I feel like that could be relevant here.

Hmm, I'm not totally sure on this one. I know the Montreal Protocol had to do with regulating certain chemicals, but I can't remember the specifics. I'll have to think this through carefully.

Okay, let me see. The Montreal Protocol was an international agreement to protect the ozone layer, so it must have banned something related to that. I'm going to go with option B, CFCs.

Ammonia? Really? I mean, I know it's a gas, but banning that? That's like banning oxygen or something. Gotta be B, CFCs for sure.
