Tourists
B.
Acid rain
Answer
C.
Deforestation
D.
Sound pollution

Answer: Option B

Solution

Answer: Option B
Solution:
When sulphur pollutants fall on to buildings made from limestone and sandstone they react with minerals in the stone to form a powdery substance that can be washed away by rain. This is known as acid rain. Famous buildings like the Statue of Liberty in New York, the Taj Mahal in India and St. Paul's Cathedral in London have all been damaged by this sort of air pollution.
