The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding Primary Pollutants**: - Primary pollutants are substances that are released directly into the environment in their harmful form. They do not require any transformation or reaction to become hazardous. 2. **Identifying Characteristics**: - These pollutants are produced directly and can have immediate effects on health and the environment. Their presence, even in small amounts, can be undesirable and harmful. 3. **Evaluating Options**: - The question provides several options regarding what primary pollutants are: a) Enters environment directly b) Formed naturally c) Byproduct of reactions between two or more pollutants d) Anthropogenic (human-made) 4. **Analyzing Each Option**: - **Option a**: "Enters environment directly" - This aligns with the definition of primary pollutants. - **Option b**: "Formed naturally" - While some primary pollutants can be natural (like volcanic ash), this does not define all primary pollutants. - **Option c**: "Byproduct of reactions between two or more pollutants" - This describes secondary pollutants, not primary. - **Option d**: "Anthropogenic" - While many primary pollutants are human-made, not all are; thus, this option is too narrow. 5. **Conclusion**: - The best answer is **Option a: Enters environment directly**, as it accurately describes the nature of primary pollutants.
