Which pollutants are formed by photochemical reactions involving hydrocarbons and oxides of nitrogen?

Oxidant pollutants, primarily ozone
Primary acidic aerosols
Natural gas emissions
Water vapor clouds

The correct answer is: Oxidant pollutants, primarily ozone

Explanation Pollutants formed by photochemical reactions involving hydrocarbons and oxides of nitrogen are primarily ozone, known as oxidant pollutants. As such, options B, C, and D are incorrect because they do not pertain to the formation of these specific pollutants. Option B references primary acidic aerosols, which are not formed through photochemical reactions. Option C mentions natural gas emissions, which can contribute to air pollution but are not directly formed through photochemical reactions. Option D mentions water vapor clouds, which are not pollutants formed by photochemical reactions. Therefore, option A is the only correct choice.
