Solution
The correct option is D Acid Rain
Air pollution can cause acid rain. Oxides of nitrogen and sulphur emitted from burning fossil fuels mixes with water vapour, oxygen and other substances in the atmosphere to form acidic pollutants. These fall to the Earth’s surface in the form of rain droplets, hailstorms or snow and is known as acid rain.
