I agree.

Thank u.

Looks like we have an impostor Reed

Yes, and an impostor Ms. Sue

The correct answer is indeed option d), all of the above. Burning coal and other fossil fuels releases sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides into the atmosphere, which can combine with moisture to form sulfuric acid and nitric acid, leading to acid rain. Acid rain has multiple detrimental effects on the environment, particularly in Eastern Europe. It increases the acid levels in lakes and rivers, which can harm aquatic life and disrupt the ecosystem. It also damages buildings, including statues and monuments, through a process called "acid deposition," which corrodes and erodes surfaces. Additionally, acid rain can have harmful effects on plants by damaging their leaves, inhibiting their growth, and reducing their productivity. So, all of the mentioned challenges are caused by burning coal and other fossil fuels in Eastern Europe.
