The answer is A and E.
"Malodorous" means having a bad smell or being foul-smelling. This term accurately describes the unpleasant and bad-smelling nature of the town's air, which could vary due to the different industries around it.
"Noisome" is similar to "malodorous" but is not restricted to describing smells. It refers to something harmful, offensive, or disgusting. In this context, it can be used to convey the idea that the town's air might not only be foul-smelling but also potentially harmful or offensive in other ways due to various industrial emissions.
Both terms capture the unpleasantness of the town's air, albeit with slightly different connotations.
