(B) with atmospheric water vapor producing highly corrosive sulfuric and nitric acids
(C) and atmospheric water vapor which has produced highly corrosive sulfuric and nitric acids
(D) and atmospheric water vapor which have produced sulfuric and nitric acids which are highly corrosive（E）

Hi Vihar,
Let’s read the sentence using simpler terms. “A” results from chemical reactions between “X” and “Y” to produce “Z”.
X = “industrial emissions of sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides”
Y = “atmospheric water vapor”
Z = “highly corrosive sulfuric and nitric acids”
Let’s look at the answer choices
A: Incorrect usage of idiom as between “X” with “Y”. The correct usage is between “X” and “Y” – Hence this answer choice is wrong
B: Incorrect usage of idiom as between “X” with “Y”. The correct usage is between “X” and “Y” – Hence this answer choice is wrong
C: Correct usage of idiom. “Has produced” is incorrect usage of past perfect tense. Singular plural clash in “Chemical reactions which has produced” – Hence this answer choice is wrong
D: Correct usage of idiom. “Have produced” is incorrect usage of past perfect tense. “Sulfuric and nitric acids which are highly corrosive” is unnecessarily verbose – Hence this answer choice is wrong
E: Correct usage of idiom as between “X” and “Y”. Correct usage of tense “to produce”
Thank you!
