Oxides of nitrogen (NOx) primarily contribute to the formation of photochemical smog, particularly in urban areas. Although they also play a role in creating acid rain, the most direct impact of NOx emissions is through the generation of ground-level ozone. Therefore, the correct answer is A) photochemical smog.
