Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The reduction of sulfur dioxide emissions, a leading cause of acid rain, has been achieved through the implementation of regulations and the use of modern technologies. Both options (ii) and (iii) have contributed significantly to the reduction of sulfur dioxide emissions. Option (ii), the implementation of the Acid Rain Program in 1990, introduced market-based incentives to reduce emissions from coal-fired power plants, which were major sources of sulfur dioxide emissions. Option (iii), the use of low-sulfur coal in power plants, has also helped to reduce sulfur dioxide emissions by reducing the amount of sulfur present in the fuel burned in those plants. Therefore, both options (ii) and (iii) have played a significant role in reducing sulfur dioxide emissions, making option D the correct choice.
