Answer: C. Carbon monoxide

Explanation: Atmospheric particulate matter, also known as particulates, are microscopic fine solid or liquid matter found in the atmosphere. These particles cause pollution, and these particulate matter can be different chemicals, metals, acids, particles of dust and soil, particles as combustion products that are in the smoke and can be caused by fire or emitted from power plants.
