Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct answer is option B- Clams

It is very clear how acid rain is affecting our ecosystem. Plants, animals and other living organisms are effected including their habitat.

When acid rain enters soil, it leaches aluminium from soil particles and mixes it with soil. Aluminium level in water intoxicates the water content which is critical for the survival of water animals.

The critical PH level for clams is 6.
