This question was previously asked in
HTET 2025 Level 1 PRT Question Paper (5-Jul-2026)
The correct answer is

Ground level ozone

Ground level ozone is a secondary pollutant because it is not emitted directly into the air but forms when other pollutants, such as nitrogen oxides and volatile organic compounds, react in sunlight. Volatile organic compounds, nitrogen oxides and carbon monoxide, by contrast, are emitted directly from sources like vehicles and industries, making them primary pollutants.
