None of them. It is chlorinated hyrdocarbons that cause ozone dpelation, and none of the products you list are commonly chlorinated hydrocarbons.

The important part of this question is which of these contains hydrocarbons and are therefore organic subsatnces. A hydrocarbon is made up of C and H atoms bonded toegther. Looking at ur list not all of these substances contain hydrocarbons (eg. Chlorine Tabs).

Certain man-made chemicals used in refrigeration, air conditioning, fire and explosion prevention and as solvents can trigger reactions in the atmosphere that destroy the ozone layer.
Compounds which will damage the ozone include chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs), halons and methyl bromide.

You're mainly talking about spry cans. They used to be filled with CFC's (that damages the ozone layer) to pressurize the can, but as far as i know all over the world these harmfull gasses are replace by more environmental friendly stuff.
Oil does contain large amounts of CFC's if they have been used in refrigerant systems that use harmfull cooling liquids. Though I'm not a specialist, I don't think anyone would normally like gas in his oil, so normal oil is unlikely to contain CFC's. Still don't just twist out the plug out of your engine and let it flow where gravity will lead it to its final resting-place in the soil, because that's harmful to the environment in another way. This should be handed over to a chemical waste disposal.

practically everything that contains aerosols is potentially dangerous to the ozone layer. not just aerosols, be careful about all the sprays that u might be using. they might be danegrous.
look for "Ozone Friendly" or "No CFCs" label on the bottle to be a bit sure and fell a bit secure that u aren't destroying the ozone layer.

Nothing on that list will harm the ozone. Also, hydrocarbons will not hurt the ozone layer. You are thinking of chlorofluorocarbons. This includes freon and aerosol propellants although those compounds are being replaced with safer compounds.
