Nitrogen oxides and sulfur - dioxides react with water, oxygen, and other chemicals in the atmosphere to form acids like nitric acid and sulfuric acid which cause acid rain. Phosphates and potassium oxide do not contribute to acid - rain formation in this way.

Answer:

B. nitrogen oxide (NO), C. sulfur dioxide ($SO_2$)
