Solution

Answer: Option C
Solution:
The most severe pollutant of metals and materials is H2SO4.
Sulfuric acid will exist as particles or droplets in the air if released into the atmosphere. It dissolves when mixed with water.
It has moderate acute (short-term) toxicity on aquatic life. Sulfuric acid is very corrosive and would badly burn any plants, birds or land animals exposed to it.
