Solution

The correct option is B unburnt carbon particles or hydrocarbons suspended in air
Smog is a dark brown or greyish smoky mist that occurs in cold weather. It is formed by unburnt carbon particles or hydrocarbons suspended in the air. It is a visible indication of air pollution. Smog not only reduces visibility but is highly suffocating and harmful to human beings, animals and plants.

Hence, the correct option is B
