Solution

The correct option is A HNO2, 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+O22NO
2NO+O22NO2
2NO2+H2OHNO2+HNO3
So the Oxoacids formed are HNO2, HNO3.
Hence option A is correct.
