Solution

The correct option is A Chlorophyll destruction
Sulphur dioxide is produced during combustion of fossil fuels, refining of petroleum and smelting of sulphur containing ores. Sulphur dioxide produces smog. Sulphur causes membrane damage, destruction of chlorophyll, necrosis and water soaked appearances. Lichens are most sensitive to sulphur dioxide pollution.
