Solution

The correct options are
A Reduce the excessive use of fossil fuels
C Removing sulphur compounds from fossil fuels
The burning of the fossil fuels results in toxic gases that react with the atmosphere and mixes with the rainwater.
Reducing the use of fossil fuels and replacing them with CNG (compressed natural gas) can reduce the amount of acid rain as CNG produces harmful products in very small amounts.
Removal of sulphur compounds present in coal would also reduce the release of sulphur dioxide gas on burning the coal..
