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:

planations:
The photograph likely shows forest damage, which can be caused by acid deposition (pollutants reacting with water, like sulfur dioxide or nitrogen oxides forming acids that deposit on Earth’s surface, harming vegetation). Option A describes acid deposition (e.g., acid rain) effects. Option B is about urban haze, not forest damage. Option C is ozone depletion (affecting UV, not direct forest damage here). Option D is eutrophication (water bodies, not forests). So A matches the consequence shown (forest damage from deposited pollutants after reacting with water).

Answer:

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