A1, 2, 5 only

B1, 3, 4 only

C2, 3, 4 only

D1, 2, 3, 4, 5 ✓ Correct

Correct answer: (D) 1, 2, 3, 4, 5

Explanation

All five, from water-cycle shifts to sea-level rise, are consequences of global warming.

Changes in the water cycle bring more intense droughts and floods.

Migration of species occurs as habitats shift toward cooler zones.

Changes in ocean circulation follow altered temperature and salinity patterns.

Ocean acidification and sea-level rise both stem from rising carbon dioxide and warming.

Sea-level rise comes from melting ice and the thermal expansion of seawater.
