Solution

The correct option is A Aldehydes
Aldehyde is an example of photochemical smog.
During formation of photochemical smog, reactive hydrocarbons containing ( $C = C$ ) double bond are converted to aldehydes and aldehydes are subsequently converted to peroxyacetyl nitrate (PAN) which is the chief constituent of photochemical smog.
