Solution
The correct options are A Air pollution B Global warming Burning fossil fuels emits pollutants and gases that are harmful to both the environment and public health. Air pollutants and particulate matter released on burning get deposited on soil and surface waters where they enter the food chain. These gases act like a blanket by trapping the sun's warmth near the earth's surface. This affects the planet's climate system and causes global warming.
