idiom is 'between X and Y' and 'result from'

X - industrial emissions of SO2 and NO
Y - atmospheric water vapour

So A and B are wrong.

C) which is used without a comma
D) same as D
E) correct

OA pls!

I'd also like to point out that C and D use 'has and have produced" respectively, which must be wrong. It would be "reaction between X and Y to produce Z".
