As we have learnt,

Acid rain -

Rainfall and other precipitation with a pH of less than 5.6 . Acidic components, sulphuric acid and nitric acid, are emitted into the atmosphere from thermal power plants, industries, automobiles.

2SO_{2}(g)+O_{2}(g)+2H_{2}O(l)\rightarrow 2H_{2}SO_{4}(aq)

4NO_{2}(g)+O_{2}(g)+2H_{2}O(l)\rightarrow 4HNO_{3}(aq)

Hence, the correct answer is Option (4)
