Read the Following Scenario and Answer the Question Below

Read the following scenario and answer the question below.
Many geologists have proposed naming the current time period of Earth's history the Anthropocene epoch. The rationale for doing so includes the fact that erosion rates and greenhouse gas levels in the atmosphere have increased rapidly over the past 300 years. Almost all environmental scientists agree that increases in greenhouse gases contribute to global climate change. Carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, ozone, hydrochlorofluorocarbons, and water vapor are the main culprits. Human activities, chief among them the tapping and burning of fossil fuels for energy, have significantly increased these "greenhouse gases" in our atmosphere in the last 300 years. With rising standards of living in developing countries, emissions of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases are expected to continue to rise. If unchecked, carbon dioxide levels will reach twice preindustrial levels by midcentury and double again by the end of the century. Computer models have shown that this rise alone could raise Earth's temperatures by 3 to 10 degrees Fahrenheit by 2100.
-Besides contributing to global warming, nitrous oxide contributes indirectly to acid precipitation because of ________________

A) the hydrogen bonds connecting the nitrogen and oxygen atoms in the molecule
B) its ability to form compounds that lower pH
C) its ability to form compounds that raise pH
D) the ability of acids to raise the temperature of the substances which dissolve them
E) the airborne nature of all compounds containing nitrogen
