    nitrogen oxides and sulphur oxides

    Explanation:

    Factors responsible for antropogenic pollution are:

    burning of fossil fuels deforestation mining sewage industrial effluent pesticides, fertilizers, etc.

    The primary air pollutants released from burning of fossil fuels are oxides of nitrogen, sulfur oxides and carbon monoxide.

    Out of which the main pollutants that are responsible for acidic precipitation are oxides of nitrogen and sulfur oxides.

    Sulfur oxides and Oxides of nitrogen reacts with moisture present in the air to form sulfuric acid and nitric acid respectively.

    These acids get mixed with rain and cause acidic precipitation.

    Therefore, the correct option is oxides of nitrogen and sulfur oxides.
