C

Explanation

The phenomenon where water droplets in the atmosphere combine with dust particles or other airborne particles to reduce visibility is called "haze." Haze is a type of atmospheric aerosol and can significantly decrease the clarity of the air, making distant objects less visible. It is often caused by a combination of factors, including pollution, natural emissions, and meteorological conditions. Haze can have various sources, such as industrial emissions, vehicle exhaust, forest fires, or even natural processes like volcanic eruptions.
