Ozone is not classified as particulate.

A particulate is a very small solid particle that can exist in suspension in both liquid and a gas. This particle remains suspended because it does not dissolve in the liquid or gas that it is suspended in. Dust and ash are capable of being particulates in both gases and liquids. Lead has been known to be a particulate in water, acting as a contaminant.

On the other hand, ozone is a gas that exists as a molecule of three oxygen atoms bonded together. For this reason, Ozone can not be particulate. The correct answer is A.Ozone.
