Solution

The correct option is C Los Angeles type smog
In Los Angeles, a type of air pollution derived from vehicular emission from internal combustion engines and industrial fumes reacted in the atmosphere with sunlight to form secondary pollutants that combined with the primary emissions to form photochemical smog. Los Angeles was one of the best-known cities suffering from photochemical smog for much of the 20th century to such a great extent that it was sometimes said that Los Angeles was a synonym for smog. Thus correct answer is option C.
