Question

Given below are two statements:
Statement I: Classical smog is formed when oxides of nitrogen combine with particulate matter, especially in summer season.
Statement II: Classical smog reduces atmospheric visibility to a great extent.
In the light of the above statements choose the correct answer from the options given below:

• A. Both Statement I and Statement II are true
• B. Both Statement I and Statement II are false
• C. Statement I is true and Statement II is false
• D. Statement I is false but Statement II is true

Hint:

Understand the differences between classical and photochemical smog when studying environmental science.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Statement I is true because classical smog forms when oxides of nitrogen mix with particulate matter, and it is more prevalent during the summer season. Statement II is false because classical smog does not significantly reduce atmospheric visibility; instead, it has harmful effects on health and the environment.
