Solution

B. Rising sea levels

Here's why:

  1. Increase in average global temperatures is often referred to as global warming.

  2. One of the primary effects of global warming is the melting of polar ice caps and glaciers.

  3. When ice on land, such as mountain glaciers or the ice sheets of Greenland or Antarctica, melts, that water contributes to sea level rise.

  4. Therefore, an increase in average global temperatures would likely result in rising sea levels.
