Stable atmospheric conditions help in

AAccumulation of the air pollutants ✓ Correct

BDispersion of the air pollutants

CDispersion of the water pollutants

DNeutralisation of air pollutants

Correct answer: (A) Accumulation of the air pollutants

Explanation

Stable atmospheric conditions suppress vertical mixing, so pollutants build up near the ground.

Dispersion of air pollutants needs unstable, turbulent air that stable conditions lack.

Dispersion of water pollutants concerns water bodies, not atmospheric stability.

Neutralisation of air pollutants is a chemical process unrelated to atmospheric stability.

Temperature inversions are a common stable condition that traps smoke and haze.

This is why smog worsens on calm, cold winter mornings.
