Ci-d, ii-a, iii-b, iv-c ✓ Correct

Di-b, ii-a, iii-c, iv-d

Correct answer: (C) i-d, ii-a, iii-b, iv-c

Explanation

Each phenomenon links to the environmental impact it most directly produces.

Jhum cultivation clears forest patches for shifting agriculture, matched by deforestation.

Air pollution releases sulphur and nitrogen oxides, matched by acid rain.

Water pollution enriches waters with nutrients, matched by eutrophication.

Urbanization replaces vegetation with concrete, matched by heat-island formation.

Recognising these links helps target the right mitigation for each problem.
