Answer 1

The correct option is A

Air pollution

Air is said to be polluted when there is any change in the normal amount of any of the components of air or when foreign substances mix with air. Air pollutants have harmful effects on us and our environment. Nitrogen dioxide and Sulphur dioxide are air pollutants which cause acid rain. This acid rain is affecting the Taj Mahal in Agra to a greater extent by corroding it and yellowing its marble.
