Option A Nitrogen oxide is a major component of smog and is produced when nitrogen and oxygen in the air react at high temperatures, such as in the engines of cars and trucks. Nitrogen oxide can cause respiratory problems, eye irritation, and damage to crops and buildings.

Explanation of incorrect option 

incorrect option  B is also a pollutant that can be harmful to human health when inhaled, but it is not directly associated with smog formation.

incorrect option C is a pollutant that can cause acid rain and is produced by burning fossil fuels that contain sulfur.

incorrect option D is a naturally occurring gas that is also produced by human activities and is a major contributor to climate change. However, it is not typically considered a pollutant in the same way as the other three oxides listed.
