Solution

The correct option is B False
The pollutants released from oil refineries are oxides of sulphur and nitrogen. Mostly nitrogen dioxide and sulphur dioxide are released. These oxides, when combined with water, form their respective acids, thereby leading to acid rain.

Oxygen is an important gas for our survival and hence it is not a pollutant.
