Detailed Solution

The above statement is true.
Fossil fuel is a hydrocarbon-containing substance that naturally originated in the earth's crust from the remains of dead plants and animals. The combustion of these leads to release of hazardous gases which contributes significantly to the greenhouse effect and global warming, causing air pollution. However, pollution is not limited to the atmosphere; the release of gases like sulphur dioxide, due to the combustion of fossil fuels, generates acid rain, which pollutes water bodies and causes water pollution.
