Solution
The correct option is C Photochemical smog
The photochemical reaction is caused by absorption of energy in the form of light. The word smog is formed of smoke and fog. Photochemical smog is the major contributor to air pollution and is composed of primary and secondary pollutants. Primary being the nitrogen oxides and volatile organic compounds. Nitrogen oxides are contributed the automobile exhausts and power plants emissions. Unsaturated hydrocarbons are those that have double or triple covalent bonds between adjacent carbon atoms. e.g., Ethylene. Gasoline and natural gas are major sources of unsaturated hydrocarbon.Hence, the correct answer is 'Photochemical smog'.
