wrong

Acid rain results when sulfur dioxide (SO2) and nitrogen oxides (NO2) are emitted into the atmosphere and transported by wind and air currents. The SO2 and NO2 react with water, oxygen and other chemicals to form sulfuric and nitric acids.

The correct answer is:

D. HCl and SO₂

Why?

Acid rain is mainly formed from two gases:

Sulphur dioxide (SO₂) → forms sulphuric acid (H₂SO₄) in the atmosphere
Nitrogen oxides (NOₓ, especially NO₂) → form nitric acid (HNO₃)
