Solution

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

Hence, the correct answer is 'Air'.

Therefore, option C is correct.
