Solution

The correct options are
A permanent lung damage and other respiratory problems.
B acid rain.
C reduced visibility.

In an oil refinery, the pollutants are oxides of sulphur and nitrogen which are released to the atmosphere.

These oxides are very harmful which cause acid rain and many serious health problems such as permanent lung damage and other respiratory problems.

The smoke produced may combine with fog in the air to form smog which can reduce visibility.
