*LAST QUESTION , PLEASE HELP* Why does the land around an once active coal mine remain barren? a.) Empty coal mines are flooded with acid rain so no life forms can survive. b.) Ozone is formed from hydrocarbons which prevents the growth of plants. c.) The ground where the coal was mined is acidic so few plants can grow there.

the answer is 'a'
