Question

question 6 of 25 which consequence of pollution is shown in the photograph? a. pollutants react with water and are deposited on earth’s surface. b. gaseous pollutants and particulate pollution form a haze over cities. c. pollutants break down the layer of ozone in the stratosphere. d. eutrophication occurs in the presence of too many nutrients.

Explanation:

The photograph shows damaged trees, likely due to acid rain (a form of pollution deposition). Option A describes pollutants reacting with water (like in acid rain formation) and depositing on Earth’s surface, which can harm vegetation. Option B is about haze over cities (not tree damage). Option C is ozone layer depletion (affects UV radiation, not tree damage directly). Option D is eutrophication (water - related nutrient pollution, not tree damage). So A matches the consequence shown (tree damage from pollutant deposition).

Answer:

A. Pollutants react with water and are deposited on Earth’s surface.
