The correct option is A

II, I, III


Sulphuric acid is produced in the upper atmosphere of Venus by the Sun's photochemical action on carbon dioxide, sulphur dioxide, and water vapour. The process takes place in the following order:

1.Conversion of carbon dioxide into carbon monoxide and atomic oxygen in the presence of UV.

2.The reaction of SO2 with atomic oxygen to form SO3.

3.The reaction of SO3 with water vapour to form H2SO4.
