The explanation for incorrect option A: Oxygen gas is required in the process of respiration.

The explanation for incorrect Option C: NO2 forms from emissions from cars, trucks and buses, power plants, and off-road equipment.

The explanation for incorrect option D: These gases, especially SO2, are emitted by the burning of fossil fuels — coal, oil, and diesel.
