Solution

The correct option is C Sulphur dioxide
The main chemicals in air pollution that create acid rain are sulfur dioxide $(S O_{2})$ and nitrogen oxides. Acid rain usually forms high in the clouds where sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides react with water, oxygen, and oxidants. this mixture forms a mild solution of sulfuric acid and nitric acid.
So the answer is C.
