Question

Water pollution : Eutrophication :: Air pollution : _______

• A. Desalination
• B. Acid Rain
• C. Desertification
• D. Natural calamities

Hint:

Acid rain is a result of air pollution, just as eutrophication is a result of water pollution.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Eutrophication is the process of nutrient enrichment in water bodies leading to pollution. Similarly, acid rain is the consequence of air pollution due to the release of sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides, which lead to the formation of acidic compounds. Step 1: Analyzing each option.

• (A) Desalination: Incorrect. Desalination is the process of removing salt from water, unrelated to air pollution.
• (B) Acid Rain: Correct. Acid rain is a direct consequence of air pollution, caused by the emission of sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides.
• (C) Desertification: Incorrect. Desertification is the process of land degradation, unrelated to air pollution.
• (D) Natural calamities: Incorrect. Natural calamities are not directly caused by air pollution, and are not a suitable analogy.

Step 2: Conclusion.
Thus, the correct answer is (B), Acid Rain. Final Answer:} Acid Rain.
