The correct response is:
**the acid rain causes the snow to become darker, which increases snow melt.**
In tundra biomes, acid rain can darken snow, decreasing its albedo (reflectivity) and leading to increased absorption of solar radiation. This causes the snow to melt more quickly, which can disrupt the delicate ecosystems in these regions.
