Solution
The correct option is C Highly industrialised regions of the world
Nearly two-thirds of annual SO2 emissions and just over one-fifth of NOx emissions are produced by electric utility plants that burn fossil fuels. Transportation sources (e.g., cars, trucks and other vehicles) account for more than half of the total NOx emissions. Ammonia emissions arise largely out of livestock waste and fertilised soil. Industrial combustion and industrial processes are also major sources of such emissions. Therefore acid rain usually occurs in highly industrialised areas.
