Correct Option: A
Scrubbers are air pollution control devices that use liquid to remove particulate matter or gases from an industrial exhaust or flue gas stream. This atomized liquid (typically water) entrains particles and pollutant gases in order to effectively wash them out of the gas flow. It removes or scrubs SO2 emissions from the exhaust of coal-fired power plants.
