Solution

The correct option is C
Automobiles

Automobiles are the major source of air pollution. The engine used in most motor vehicles does not burn all the fuel. Due to this, in addition to emitting carbon-dioxide and various oxides of nitrogen, these engines give off a number of incompletely burnt waste products.
