Solution
The correct option is D Nitrolic acid Combustion of fossil fuels release oxides of suplhur,nitrogen and carbon into the atmosphere which thereby reacting with water form sulphuric acid,nitric acid and carbonic acid, this phenomena is also know as acid rain.
Nitrolic acids are organic compounds with the functional
group RC(NO2)=NOH. They are prepared by the reaction of nitroalkanes with base
and nitrite sources.
