Correct answer: A. Grit

  • A. Grit
  • B. Dust
  • C. Powder
  • D. Smoke

Explanation

In the usual industrial air-pollution classification, particles larger than about 75 micrometres are termed grit, while finer particles are commonly classified as dust or fume. The parenthetical conversion is misstated, since 1 micrometre equals 10^-3 mm, not 10^-6 mm.
