Solution

The correct option is C Lichens
Lichens are sensitive to the levels of SO2 in the atmosphere.
The sulphurous and sulphuric acid compounds affect the lichen growth.
The lichens are sensitive to low pH and hence die off the trees, boulders and cliffs indicating SO2 pollution.
So, the correct option is 'Lichens'.
