Solution

The incorrect statement is: c. Ozone is the principal component of photochemical smog.

While ozone is a component of photochemical smog, it is not the principal component. Photochemical smog, also known as "summer smog", is primarily composed of nitrogen oxides and volatile organic compounds. These substances react under sunlight to form secondary pollutants, including ozone. However, the primary components are the nitrogen oxides and volatile organic compounds, not ozone.
