As we have learnt,

Photochemical smog formation 

Emission of nitrogen oxides and hydrocarbons from automobiles exhausts and solar energy lead to a chain of reactions. \mathrm{NO_2} and \mathrm{O_3} react with unburnt hydrocarbons to produce formaldehyde, acrolein, peroxy-acetyl nitrates (PAN) and Peroxy Benzoyl Nitrate (PBN).

Thus, PAN, PBN and O3 all are components of smog

Hence, the correct answer is Option (4)
