The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Question**: The question asks which photo-oxidant is produced by ultraviolet (UV) radiations. 2. **Identifying the Options**: The options provided are: - SO2 (Sulfur Dioxide) - Fluoride - CO (Carbon Monoxide) - O3 (Ozone) 3. **Analyzing the Role of Ultraviolet Radiation**: - Ultraviolet radiation from sunlight interacts with oxygen (O2) in the atmosphere. - This interaction leads to a chemical reaction that results in the formation of ozone (O3). 4. **Formation of Ozone**: - In the stratosphere, UV rays catalyze the polymerization of oxygen molecules (O2) to form ozone (O3). - Ozone plays a crucial role in absorbing UV radiation, thus protecting the Earth's surface. 5. **Reviewing Other Options**: - **SO2 (Sulfur Dioxide)**: Produced from the combustion of fossil fuels, not directly from UV radiation. - **Fluoride**: Occurs naturally and is not produced by UV radiation. - **CO (Carbon Monoxide)**: Also a product of fuel combustion, not related to UV radiation. 6. **Conclusion**: The correct answer to the question is O3 (Ozone), as it is the photo-oxidant produced by ultraviolet radiation. ### Final Answer: The photo-oxidant produced by ultraviolet radiations is O3 (Ozone). ---
