Solution

The correct option is D Carbonic acid
When fossil fuels are burnt in industries, large amounts of carbon dioxide and other chemicals like nitrogen oxides, and sulphur dioxide are released into the atmosphere. These gases combine with the water in the air and form carbonic, nitric, and sulphuric acid. This results in the formation of acid rain.
