Solution

The correct options are
A $S O_{2} + H_{2} O r a i n ⟶ H_{2} S O_{3} a c i d r a i n$
D $S O_{3} + H_{2} O r a i n ⟶ H_{2} S O_{4} a c i d r a i n$
Acid rain is a rain or any other form of precipitation that is unusually acidic, meaning that it possesses elevated levels of hydrogen ions (low pH). It can have harmful effects on plants, aquatic animals and infrastructure.

Chemical processes:
Combustion of fuels produces sulfur dioxide and nitric oxides. They are converted into sulfuric acid and nitric acid

Gas phase chemistry:
$S O_{2} + O H^{-} \to H O S O_{2}$
$H O S O_{2} + O_{2} \to H O_{2} + S O_{3}$
$S O_{3} + H_{2} O \to H_{2} S O_{4}$
$N O_{2} + O H^{-} \to H N O_{3}$
Hence options A & C are correct.
