AI Generated Solution

The correct Answer is:
To solve the matching question, we need to pair each environmental issue with its corresponding description. Here’s a step-by-step breakdown of the solution: ### Step 1: Match Acid Rain - **Definition**: Acid rain is precipitation that is significantly more acidic than normal due to the presence of sulfur dioxide (SO₂) and nitrogen oxides in the atmosphere. - **Match**: Acid rain corresponds to **(E) SO₂**. ### Step 2: Match DDT - **Definition**: DDT (Dichloro-Diphenyl-Trichloroethane) is a pesticide known for its role in biological amplification (or biomagnification), where toxins increase in concentration at each trophic level of the food chain. - **Match**: DDT corresponds to **(A) Biological amplification**. ### Step 3: Match BOD - **Definition**: BOD (Biological Oxygen Demand) measures the amount of oxygen that microorganisms will consume while decomposing organic matter in water. High BOD indicates high levels of sewage pollution. - **Match**: BOD corresponds to **(D) Sewage pollution**. ### Step 4: Match Eutrophication - **Definition**: Eutrophication is the process where water bodies become enriched with nutrients (like nitrates and phosphates), leading to excessive growth of algae and other aquatic plants. This is often due to mineral pollution. - **Match**: Eutrophication corresponds to **(B) Mineral pollution**. ### Step 5: Match PAN - **Definition**: PAN (Peroxyacetyl nitrate) is a secondary pollutant formed in photochemical smog. It contributes to air pollution and is associated with smog formation. - **Match**: PAN corresponds to **(C) Smog**. ### Final Matches: 1. Acid Rain - (E) SO₂ 2. DDT - (A) Biological amplification 3. BOD - (D) Sewage pollution 4. Eutrophication - (B) Mineral pollution 5. PAN - (C) Smog ### Summary of Matches: - 1 → E - 2 → A - 3 → D - 4 → B - 5 → C ### Correct Option: The correct answer is **A: 1E, 2A, 3D, 4B, 5C**. ---
