DSea levels would rise

Verified Answer :

i think it is answer b

Answer:

The correct answer would be D. sea levels would rise.

Increase in temperature (for example due to global warming) increases the rate of melting of polar ice.

Consequently, the sea levels of the polar ecosystem would increase.

In addition, the melting of the ice caps also increases the temperature of the water in the oceans. As a result, the water expands which also increases the sea levels.
