Acid rain can make waters in lakes, rivers, and oceans toxic primarily by **B. increasing aluminium absorption**.
When acid rain lowers the pH of the water, it can lead to the leaching of aluminum from soils and rocks into waterways. Elevated levels of aluminum can be harmful to aquatic life, as it can interfere with fish gill function and disrupt the overall health of aquatic ecosystems.
