Solution

The correct option is C Statements 1 and 2 are correct and related.
Oxides like SO2 and NO are some of the major contributors to pollution. Most of these harmful oxides are released due to coal and petroleum products. As pollution has been increasing, these condense and acidify usually along with rain droplets and come down as acid rain. Acid rains lead to numerous problems like imbalance of soil pH, poisoning the water etc.
