A Correct answer
Explanation

Volcanoes emit sulfur dioxide (SO2) and other gases that can react with water vapor in the atmosphere to form sulfuric acid, leading to acid rain. This is a natural source of acid rain, alongside human activities like burning fossil fuels. Major volcanic eruptions can significantly increase acidic precipitation in affected regions.
