Solution

The correct option is D Nitrogen oxide
Acid rain is caused due to air polluting gases like sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxide which are released into the atmosphere. These gases when mixed with water vapour, oxygen and other substances in the atmosphere form acidic pollutants which fall on earth’s surface in the form of rain.
