A. Carbon dioxide

B. Sulphur dioxide

C. Helium

D. Nitrogen

Answer: Option B

Solution(By Examveda Team)

Power plants release the majority of sulphur dioxide and much of the nitrogen oxides when they burn fossil fuels, such as coal, to produce electricity. In addition, the exhaust from cars, trucks, and buses releases nitrogen oxides and sulfur dioxide into the air. These pollutants cause acid rain.
