Answer: B) Water pollution would damage the fishing industry

Explanation: Acid rain is basically the dry/wet deposition of acidic substances and their residues on the surface of Earth. With increasing industrialization of society, there has been a significant increase in the release of acidic substances into the atmosphere. In the Great Lakes region of Canada and the United States, when acidic rain occurs the acidity increases damaging the fishing industry most. As the life of aquatic organisms is dependent on the balanced pH of surface waters, with increased acidity both the diversity and the amount of vegetation (i.e. amphibians, fish, zooplanktons, etc.) decreases.
