Solution

The correct option is D Air pollutants released from oil refinery of Mathure
Taj Mahal is located in Agra which is an industrial place as many factories are present there. Harmful air pollutants like oxides of sulphur and nitrogen are released from oil refineries, which react with water present in the atmosphere to form sulphuric acid and nitric acid respectively. These acids make the rain acidic as they come down on earth along with rain. Acid rain is causing the marble of the Taj Mahal to erode and become pale.
So, the correct answer is 'Air pollutants released from oil refinery of Mathura'.
