Solution

The correct option is A Increase in pollution
Acid rain is formed when gases like carbon dioxide, sulphur oxide, and nitrogen oxide mix with rainwater and form acidic pollutants.
These acidic pollutants fall down in the form of acid rain.
Gases like carbon dioxide increases in the atmosphere due to increased pollution. Thus, pollution plays a major role in the formation of acid rain.
