Solution
The correct option is C Absorb
Sources of SO2 include fossil fuel combustion by industry, biomass burning, volcanic release and the oxidation of dimethylsulphide (DMS) from the oceans. Major SO2 sinks are oxidation by OH and deposition onto wet surfaces. Sinks are the areas that can absorb excess amounts thus reducing its abundance in the environment.
