b) PM emission by vehicles are less harmful that the diesel vehicels.
Explanation:
- PM emissions are due to carryover of non-combustible traces of constituents present in fuel.

- It has low ash content so a marginally significant natural gas firing is observed.
- Petrol vehicles emit less harmful PM than diesel vehicles.
- So, option b) is correct.
