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..
