Solution

The correct option is A Reduce the use of coal and petroleum products.
Acid rains are caused by polluting gases like sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxide, which are released into the atmosphere and come down as acids along with rainfall. These gases are released by burning fossil fuels like coal and petroleum. We can reduce acid rains by reducing the use of coal and petroleum products, reduce deforestation by planting trees and relying on renewable sources of energy.
