The fall of acid rain is primarily associated with the presence of oxides of sulfur in the atmosphere. Therefore, among the options provided, "Oxides of sulphur" is the factor that results in the formation of acid rain. Oxides of sulfur, particularly sulfur dioxide (SO2) and nitrogen oxides (NOx), can react with water vapor in the atmosphere to form acids, leading to the formation of acid rain.
