Solution
The correct option is A Chlorophyll destruction The increase in the concentration of the air pollutants results in an adverse effect on the plants and animal health. SO2 is considered as one of the pollutants which cause bleaching of the plants. The chlorophyll pigments in the leaves of the plants are destroyed in the presence of increased amounts of sulfuric acid which is formed by reacting with the water in plants.
