The correct answer is A) Hydrosphere and geosphere

Step-by-step explanation:

Planet Earth comprises different systems or spheres. Moreover, these systems often overlap or interact. This occurs in the case of acid rain that breaks rocks. Acid rain as well as other forms of water such as snow, hail, liquid water in rivers, etc. belongs to the hydrosphere, which includes all water (H2O) on Earth. On the other hand, the rocks belong to the geosphere, which comprises all the surface and materials in it such as rocks or minerals. This implies in this context the rocks from the geosphere interact with the rain of the hydrosphere.
