Answer 1

Answer:

option b is correct

SO2 dissolves in water to form acid rain

Answer 2

(c) both (a) and (b)

Explanation:

SO2 causes eye and lung irritation. Also, acid rain is caused by a chemical reaction that begins when compounds like sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides are released into the air. These substances can rise very high into the atmosphere, where they mix and react with water, oxygen, and other chemicals to form more acidic pollutants, known as acid rain.

Option C is the answer.
