Question

which of the following is a negative consequence of air pollution on people? a. fewer cases of asthma b. decreased amount of acid rain c. diminished crop growth d. increased amount of sunlight

Explanation:

Air pollution is known to exacerbate respiratory - related health issues like asthma. Options B, C, and D are not direct negative consequences on people. Decreased acid rain is a positive environmental outcome, diminished crop growth affects food supply but is more of an environmental - agricultural impact, and increased sunlight is not a negative consequence of air pollution on people.

Answer:

None of the above options are correct as air pollution typically increases asthma cases. However, if we assume there is an error in the options and we consider the closest negative - to - people option among the given ones, air pollution can indirectly affect people through diminished crop growth (C) as it can impact food availability and quality. So if we must choose, C. Diminished crop growth.
