Ai-a, ii-b, iii-c, iv-d
Bi-b, ii-a, iii-d, iv-c ✓ Correct
Ci-a, ii-b, iii-d, iv-c
Di-b, ii-a, iii-c, iv-d
Correct answer: (B) i-b, ii-a, iii-d, iv-c
Explanation

Sorting them correctly pairs a primary pollutant with carbon monoxide, a secondary one with peroxyacyl nitrate, an ozone destroyer with chlorofluorocarbons, and cloud seeds with aerosols.

Carbon monoxide is emitted directly from incomplete burning, making it a primary air pollutant.

Peroxyacyl nitrate forms in the air from reactions of other pollutants, making it a secondary pollutant.

Chlorofluorocarbons release chlorine high up that breaks down the ozone layer.

Aerosols provide tiny surfaces on which water condenses, acting as cloud condensation nuclei.

Peroxyacyl nitrate is a key ingredient of photochemical smog over cities.
