Solution

The correct option is D Air
Oxides of sulphur and nitrogen are specifically released due to the burning of fossil fuels. Automobiles burn the petroleum and the industries/factories burn the coal for their energy requirements. This releases the exhausts/emissions loaded with these oxides. They cause air pollution by forming the secondary pollutants, greenhouse effect, acid rain, particulate matter, fly ash etc.
Hence, the correct answer is 'Air'.
