I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is the third option. The problems with acid deposition is found predominantly aquatic environments. Acid deposition is a broad term that includes any form of precipitation with acidic components.

Answer:

predominantly aquatic environments

Explanation:

   Acid rain, or acid deposition, is any type of precipitation that contains high levels of nitric and sulfuric acid. Human activities, such as burning fossil fuels, are the major causes of acid rain, but a small amount comes from natural sources. This is the case with volcanic chemicals.

    It is in aquatic habitats that the effects of acid rain are most notable. In addition to rain falling directly on these areas, acid passing through the land also ends up in streams, lakes and marshes.

    As the acidity of a lake increases, the water becomes clearer and the number of fish and other aquatic animals decreases.

    Some species of plants and animals are better able to survive in acidic waters than others. Freshwater prawns, snails and mussels are the most quickly affected by acidification, followed by fish. Water acidity can cause deformity in young fish and prevent proper hatching of eggs.
