What is one result of excessive use of fossil fuels?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Increase in air pollution

Fossil fuels such as coal, petroleum, and natural gas release pollutants when they are extracted, processed, and especially burned. Combustion can produce smoke, fine particulate matter, sulphur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, and carbon monoxide, all of which reduce air quality and may harm human health. It also adds carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas, to the atmosphere. Therefore, option A is a direct and well-established result of excessive fossil-fuel use. Burning fuel does not automatically expand forests, raise groundwater, or increase soil fertility. Those outcomes depend on land management, rainfall, recharge, and soil processes rather than on fossil-fuel consumption. The key chain is fossil-fuel combustion → emissions → air pollution.
