Answer: Option (d) is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

When compounds like ammonia, carbon, nitrogen, sulfur etc release into the atmosphere which are also responsible for greenhouse effect results in the formation of acidic precipitation that leads to rain known as acid rain.

These gases are also responsible for causing pollution into the atmosphere.

So, when we burn coal, petrol, oil etc that is, fossil fuels then it produces to emission of gases like carbon monoxide, sulfur, nitrogen etc which leads to both air pollution and acid rain.

Thus, we can conclude that the burning of fossil fuels produces acid rain and air pollution.
