Solution

The correct option is D Combustion of fuels releases carbon dioxide which causes an increase in temperature.
Combustion of fuels releases CO2 which causes an increase in temperature. As the ocean gets warm due to an increasing global temperature, seawater expands taking up more space in the ocean basin and causing a rise in water level. Hence, global warming leads to a rise in the sea level causing floods in the coastal areas.
