Which of the following effects of acid deposition most affects human health? a) acid rain damages human skin. b) acids remove lime from the soil c) acids remove nutrients from the soil and cause malnutrition in crops. d) acidic soils liberate toxic metals.

The correct answer is option C- Acids remove nutrients from the soil and cause malnutrition in crops.

Acid rain is defined as the rain which is polluted with atmospheric pollutants released mainly from coal burning and other fossils fuel. Acid rain is affecting our lives mainly via polluting water and crops.

It affects both the quantity and quality of crops. It liberates the nutrients from soil and releases them from water which makes them unavailable for the crops to take hence cause malnutrition in crops.

The damage on crops depends upon the strength and intensity of acids present in acid rain.
