Answer-The correct option is option d with says all of the above.

Explanation- All three acids that are given combined together to form acid rain in which nitric and sulphuric acid are stronger acids present while carbonic acid is a weaker one.

The carbon dioxide admitted in air combines with water to form carbonic acid and gives a weak acidic nature to rainwater. Pollution in nature makes sulphur and nitrogen present in air react to form the stronger acids responsible for acid rain.
