Ai-c, ii-b, iii-d, iv-a
Bi-c, ii-d, iii-a, iv-b ✓ Correct
Ci-d, ii-c, iii-b, iv-a
Di-d, ii-c, iii-a, iv-b
Correct answer: (B) i-c, ii-d, iii-a, iv-b
Explanation
A biogeophysical effect of sea level rise is salt water intrusion into coastal aquifers and soils.
A climatic effect appears as changes in storm patterns and intensity.
A social effect is the rehabilitation and resettlement of displaced coastal communities.
A non-climatic effect is flooding caused directly by rising sea water inundating low land.
These pairings link each effect type to its matching example.
Low-lying deltas and small islands face the greatest combined risk.
