Solution

All of these.

Explanation:

Acid rain forms when SO2 and NOx from burning fossil fuels convert to sulfuric and nitric acids in rain, which then corrodes stone and metal (staining and wearing monuments), damages leaves and reduces plant growth, and acidifies soil, leaching away nutrients and mobilizing toxic metals that lower soil fertility.
