    Answer : Option B

    Explanation :

    The gaseous air pollutants of primary concern in urban settings include sulfur dioxide, nitrogen dioxide, and carbon monoxide; these are emitted directly into the air from the combustion of fossil fuels.Smoke, a collection of airborne solid and liquid particulates and gases emitted when a material undergoes combustion, is also a pollutant.
