Solution

The correct option is A air
Natural air pollutants include fog and mist, ash, soot, salt spray, and volcanic and combustion gases. Volcanic eruptions and forest, swamp and grass fires launch soot and ash into the atmosphere, which reduces sunlight and lowers temperatures. Eruptions and fires also produce carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide and other polluting gases.
