Solution

The correct answer is d. Ground level ozone.

Ground level ozone is a secondary pollutant because it is not directly emitted by any source. Instead, it is formed when primary pollutants, such as nitrogen oxides (NOx) and volatile organic compounds (VOCs), react in the presence of sunlight. This is why ground level ozone levels are usually highest during sunny summer days. It is a major component of smog and has harmful effects on the lungs and other parts of the respiratory system.
