SO2 is responsible fir the formation of:
Correct answer: A. Acid rain
- A. Acid rain
- B. Green house effect
- C. Global warming
- D. Ozone depletion
Explanation
Acid rain: SO2 is a major contributor to the formation of acid rain. When released into the atmosphere, it reacts with water and other substances to form sulfuric acid, which can then fall to the Earth's surface as acid rain. Therefore, the correct option is "Acid rain" as SO2 is responsible for the formation of acid rain.
