Question

Statement I: Acid rains are due to pollution of sulphur dioxide and nitrogen oxides. Statement II: Incinerators are used to dispose of electronic wastes.

• A. Both statements I and II are correct.
• B. Both statements I and II are false.
• C. Statement I is correct, but II is false.
• D. Statement I is false, but II is correct.

Hint:

Acid rain affects soil pH, aquatic life, and monuments, while e-waste should be processed through recycling plants, not incinerators.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Step 1: Understanding Acid Rain and Waste Disposal
- Acid rain occurs due to \(SO_2\) and \(NO_2\) pollution, forming sulfuric and nitric acid in rainwater.
- Incinerators are not suitable for electronic waste disposal due to toxic fumes (e-waste should be recycled).
