Solution
The correct option is AHNO2, HNO3 During the thunderstorm nitrogen and nitrous oxide in atmosphere combines with oxygen and forms NO2.This NO2 combines with rain and produce nitric acid.
The chemical reactions are: N2+O2⟶2NO 2NO+O2⟶2NO2 2NO2+H2O⟶HNO2+HNO3
So the Oxoacids formed are HNO2, HNO3. Hence option A is correct.
