A. Fog is the condensation of water droplets and mixed dust particles near the earth's surface, forming the ground clouds. This generally occurs in low atmospheric temperature.

B. Smog occurs when the smoke and dust particles condense around the water and their cumulative condensation.

C. Haze is the dispersal or smoke or dust in the air.

D. Mist is the dispersion of the water droplets in the air. It can be caused by the haze.

Hence, the correct answer is 'Haze'.
