Solution

The correct option is C Acid rain
Nitrogen oxides are mainly produced by the combustion of fossil fuels in vehicles, especially diesel-powered vehicles and power plants. Just like sulphur oxides, nitrogen oxides can also combine with moisture to form nitric acid that can precipitate as acid rain. Photochemical smog is yet another environmental problem, which gets formed when nitrogen oxides and volatile organic compounds react in the presence of heat and sunlight.
