Answer: option (d) sulphur dioxide
Explanation: Acid rain is caused by a chemical reaction that begins when compounds like sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides are released into the air. In addition, the exhaust from cars, trucks, and buses releases nitrogen oxides and sulfur dioxide into the air. These pollutants cause acid rain. Sulphur, present in coal, is one major cause of acid rain. Sulphur burns to form sulphur dioxide which reacts with rain water to form sulphuric acid.
