Answer: Option (c) is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

When rain dissolves atmospheric pollutants then the rain water becomes acidic in nature and hence, the rain is termed as acidic rain.

This rain water passes through different paths and this acidic water used to dissolve various useful nutrients and minerals present in the soil. Therefore, these are washed and carried away by the water even before plants can absorb them.

Thus, we can conclude that one of the ways that acid rain is harmful is that it leaches nutrients out of plants.
