Solution

The correct option is C

Release of SO2 and NO from burning fossil fuels


Acid rain is caused by a chemical reaction that begins when compounds like sulphur dioxide and nitrogen oxides are released into the air. These substances can rise very high into the atmosphere, where they mix and react with water, oxygen and other chemicals to form more acidic pollutants to precipitate down as acid rain.
