The correct option is B. React photochemically, due to the effect of ultraviolet light.

Smog is primarily formed when pollutants emitted by vehicles, industries, and other sources undergo complex chemical reactions in the atmosphere, particularly in the presence of sunlight (ultraviolet light). This process, known as photochemical reaction, leads to the formation of harmful pollutants such as ozone and fine particulate matter, which can irritate eyes and the throat, among other health effects.
