A Correct answer
Explanation

Poland has experienced the most severe forest damage from acid rain in Europe, particularly in the Sudeten Mountains and Krkonose regions. Heavy industrialization combined with high sulfur dioxide emissions from coal burning, combined with geographical factors that trap pollutants, caused extensive forest dieback in Poland - more than Italy, Spain, or most other European countries.
