Other atmospheric pollution

Industries that burn coal or oil at high temperatures can emit pollutants into the atmosphere that react to form acid rain. The diagram below shows an example of how several communities contribute to and are impacted by acid rain.

Which community is most likely to experience the effects of acid rain, and why?

(Choice A)
Community A, because it has many sources of acid rain pollutants.
(Choice B)
Community B, because it is upwind from the source of pollutants that form acid rain.
(Choice C)
Community C, because it is located near the power plant.
(Choice D)
Community D, because it is downwind from the source of pollutants that form acid rain.
